Do the halal screening authorities agree?

Halal screening authorities disagree on BP p.l.c.: not halal (HalalWallet (AAOIFI)); doubtful (Musaffa).

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.

BP p.l.c. operates as a global energy company, offering a wide array of carbon-based and sustainable products and services. The screening question on this name turns on its revenue mix — review the latest 10-K segment disclosure to confirm.

Financial ratios drive the fail (data as of 2026-03-31): interest-bearing debt / market cap at 53.3% versus the < 30% limit; cash + interest-bearing securities / market cap at 31.9% versus the < 30% limit.

Zoya's public page did not return a clear status when we checked (checked 2026-06-15). Musaffa rates it doubtful. U.S. Shariah ETFs SPUS and HLAL publish holdings on their own schedules — absence from a top-holdings list is not the same as a failed screen; verify current ETF holdings if index validation matters to you.

Practical takeaway: do not treat this as a borderline hold — the fail is structural on our methodology. Use Shariah-screened ETFs (SPUS, HLAL) or individually screened peers in the same sector instead.

BP p.l.c. operates as a global energy company, offering a wide array of carbon-based and sustainable products and services. Its operations are structured across three primary segments: Gas & Low Carbon Energy, Oil Production & Operations, and Customers & Products.

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 BP p.l.c. screens across Shariah standards

The standards disagree on this company. It passes some Shariah screens and fails others — which is exactly why you may see a different answer in different apps. Our headline verdict uses AAOIFI, the strictest and most widely cited mainstream standard.

Standard	Debt	Cash & interest securities	Limit / basis	Result
AAOIFI (our standard)	53.3%	31.9%	< 30% of market cap	Fail
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.	53.3%	31.9%	< 33% of market cap	Fail
MSCI Islamic / FTSE Yasaar basisTotal-assets denominator. MSCI/FTSE also apply entry/exit buffers and a receivables screen we do not reproduce.	19.8%	11.9%	< 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 →

These companies pass under some mainstream standards and fail under others — the same pattern as this verdict. That is why two apps can show different answers.
