Split out interest for AAOIFI
Left blank, we count all debt and cash, the cautious reading.
How each standard works
AAOIFI Shari’ah Standard 21
Interest-bearing borrowing and interest-earning deposits must each be no more than 30% of market value, and impermissible income no more than 5% of total income. The standard sets no averaging period, so we use today’s market value.
S&P Shariah
Debt, and cash plus interest-bearing securities, must each be under 33% of the 36-month average market value. Receivables must be under 49%, and non-permissible income other than interest under 5% of revenue. S&P announced rule changes in August 2026, so check its current methodology on a close call.
MSCI Islamic
Measured against total assets. Debt, and cash plus interest-bearing securities, must each be no more than 33.33%, receivables plus cash no more than 70%, and restricted revenue no more than 5%. New index entrants face tighter limits of 30%, 30% and 46%. Source: MSCI methodology, May 2025.
Giving away part of the dividend
We show interest and impermissible income as a share of total income. That’s the part of each dividend to give to charity. Some scholars and funds work it out differently.
Where next
Capital at risk. Investments can fall as well as rise, and you could get back less than you put in. Past performance is no guide to the future. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy any fund or platform.
