Common Challenges in Halal Stock Screening

"Many DSE companies appear Halal but have:

  • Significant interest income from deposits
  • Debt financing through conventional loans"

2. Permissible vs Impermissible Services

"Some IT companies provide services to:
✅ Halal businesses (permitted)
❌ Gambling platforms (prohibited)"

3. Dividend Purification

"Even compliant stocks may need:

  • Donation to charity of impure amounts"

Track compliant stocks via DSE News Updates.
