Halal shares are shares from companies compliant with Sharia principles stipulated by Shariah Scholars. Shariah compliant funds work along the lines of the Shariah Law relating to finance. Companies with operations opposing Shariah principles, such as selling pork, alcohol, drugs, gambling, or the sale of weapons, are prohibited under Shariah Law and deemed unfit for investment.
Key principles of Shariah investment
The company’s primary business must be halal (according to Islamic law – Shariah). Under Shariah law, companies engaged in gambling, alcohol, tobacco, etc., are excluded.
- The total ‘Debt to Equity ratio’ should be lower than 33%.
- Shariah indices exclude companies with Accounts Receivables/Market equity value greater than or equal to 49 %.
- In Shariah compliant companies, revenues from non-compliant activities are permissible only if the revenue from the non-permissible income is less than 5%.
- Shariah Boards laid down these principles, and 935 companies are compliant with Shariah principles in the Nifty index.
