All 3 halal screening authorities with a published position rate ASML Holding N.V. halal.
ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) passes our AAOIFI-based screen. Its core business is permissible, and (data as of 2026-03-31) interest-bearing debt is 0.4% of market cap and cash plus interest-bearing securities 1.3% — both inside the 30% AAOIFI thresholds. Ratios move with the share price, so check the data-as-of date; any incidental interest income should be purified.

All 3 halal screening authorities with a published position rate ASML Holding N.V. halal.
Stances are normalized from each authority's own dated public position. Disagreement usually reflects a methodology or standard difference (ratio timing, market-cap vs total-assets denominator), not an error. For the fund screens (Wahed/HLAL, SP Funds/SPUS), only a confirmed holding that passed the fund's screen counts as a pass — a non-holding is left blank because absence can reflect index scope.

How we read the evidence
HalalWallet's editorial synthesis of the screens, scholar positions, and sources documented on this page — not a religious ruling.
ASML is the Dutch company that builds the lithography machines chipmakers use to print circuits onto silicon — most notably the EUV systems that TSMC, Samsung, and Intel rely on to make leading-edge processors. Because the business is simply designing, selling, and servicing this manufacturing equipment, it is a clean industrial-technology activity with no alcohol, gambling, tobacco, or conventional-finance exposure. Zoya, Musaffa, and Muslim Xchange all independently classify ASML as Shariah-compliant.
The financial ratios are very strong: ASML carries minimal interest-bearing debt relative to its large market value, and interest income is only around 0.3% of revenue — so dividend purification is negligible.
The practical takeaway: ASML clears both the business and financial screens with room to spare. Re-check the debt and cash ratios after new filings, and avoid leverage on the position. Note that ASML trades both as a U.S.-listed share (ASML) and on Euronext Amsterdam (ASML.AS); the Shariah status is the same for both.
Business Activity Screen
ASML Holding develops, manufactures, and services the photolithography systems used to produce semiconductor chips — including the EUV (extreme-ultraviolet) machines that are essential to making the most advanced processors. Revenue is from selling and servicing this equipment, a permissible industrial-technology activity.
No prohibited business lines are disclosed. Interest income on ASML's cash is very small — our screen shows ~0.3% of revenue, well under the 5% AAOIFI threshold — so any dividend purification is minimal.
Financial Ratio Screen
| Screen | Value | AAOIFI limit | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt / market cap | 0.4% | < 30% | Pass |
| Cash + interest-bearing securities / market cap | 1.3% | < 30% | Pass |
| Impermissible income / total revenueInterest income $104.7M on $32.67B total revenue (ASML Holding N.V. FY2025 (fiscal year ended 2025-12-31, Form 10-K)) = 0.3% — under AAOIFI's 5% limit. | 0.3% | < 5% | Pass |
Spot market cap at research date (consider trailing average for borderline names). Data as of 2026-03-31 · thresholds per AAOIFI Shariah standards.
This verdict uses the AAOIFI standard — the most widely used and, at a 30% debt limit, the most conservative mainstream Shariah standard. Interest-bearing debt and interest-bearing securities each stay under 30% of market cap, and impermissible income under 5% of revenue. Other standards (Dow Jones Islamic, S&P Shariah, MSCI Islamic, FTSE Yasaar) use ~33% limits or screen against total assets, so a borderline company can be rated differently by each.

How ASML screens across Shariah standards
All three mainstream bases below reach the same conclusion for this company.
| Standard | Debt | Cash & interest securities | Limit / basis | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AAOIFI (our standard) | 0.4% | 1.3% | < 30% of market cap | Pass |
| Dow Jones Islamic / S&P Shariah thresholdDow Jones and S&P apply this limit against a trailing 24–36-month average market cap; shown here on the same point-in-time market cap for comparison. | 0.4% | 1.3% | < 33% of market cap | Pass |
| MSCI Islamic / FTSE Yasaar basisTotal-assets denominator. MSCI/FTSE also apply entry/exit buffers and a receivables screen we do not reproduce. | 5.6% | 17.4% | < 33.33% of total assets | Pass |
HalalWallet computation reproducing each standard's threshold and denominator from public filings (balance sheet as of 2026-03-31) — not the providers' licensed index determinations, which can differ. Debt is interest-bearing borrowings (operating leases excluded). The impermissible-income screen (< 5% of revenue) is common to all of these standards and is shown in the ratio table above. Dow Jones and S&P apply their limit against a trailing 24–36-month average market cap; MSCI and FTSE add entry/exit buffers and a receivables screen. Full methodology →
Scholars' & Screeners' Positions
Published positions, cited as stated. Screeners can reach different conclusions on the same company because of ratio timing and methodology differences — we report the disagreement rather than flatten it.
Purification
Even Shariah-compliant companies typically earn a small amount of incidental interest on corporate cash. The standard practice is to purify: donate the proportion of your dividends (and, per some scholars, capital gains) attributable to impermissible income. Our purification calculator automates the math from your holding and the company's disclosed figures.

The Final Step: Your Scholar Conversation
Major whether ASML Holding N.V. is halal decisions involve nuances that vary by scholarly opinion and personal circumstance — which is why HalalWallet is built as the research step, not the ruling. We do the homework on comparisons, structures, and oversight; a qualified Islamic scholar, your local imam, or a Shariah-certified financial advisor covers what no comparison site can — guidance specific to your situation. Bring your shortlist to that conversation so it starts at the decision, not the basics.
How to use this comparison: HalalWallet is an independent educational comparison platform — by design, we do not provide financial, legal, or religious advice. We do the research homework so your final checks are quick and personal.
Product structures and Shariah oversight vary by provider, so finish with three built-in steps:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider — their quote is final.
- Review the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah, etc.) and any disclosed Shariah board opinions.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
