Do the halal screening authorities agree?
- HalalWallet (AAOIFI)· Not halal
HalalWallet (AAOIFI) rates Enbridge Inc. not halal; no other recognized authority has a published position.
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.
Enbridge is a useful case study in the difference between what a company does and how it is financed. Moving crude oil and natural gas through pipelines, and distributing gas to utility customers, are permissible activities; nothing about the business itself raises a Shariah objection. If the screen stopped at business activity, Enbridge would pass.
The problem is the balance sheet. Pipelines and utility networks are enormously capital-intensive, and Enbridge, like most of its peers, funds that asset base with a heavy load of interest-bearing debt. Under AAOIFI-style quantitative screens, companies whose interest-bearing debt exceeds the threshold relative to market capitalization or assets fail regardless of how clean the underlying business is. Zoya currently classifies Enbridge as not Shariah-compliant on this basis, and the stock is absent from Shariah-screened products like Wealthsimple's WSHR ETF.
Unlike a bank, however, Enbridge's status is not categorical. Debt ratios move with debt paydown and with the share price, so a stock that fails on leverage can re-enter compliance in the future. Investors who like the energy-infrastructure space should monitor a screening app rather than writing the name off permanently, and consider that other Canadian energy names with lighter balance sheets currently screen as compliant.

Financial Ratio Screen
| Screen | Value | AAOIFI limit | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interest-bearing debt / market cap | 88.1% | < 30% | Fail |
| Cash + interest-bearing securities / market cap | 1.5% | < 30% | Pass |
| Impermissible income / total revenueNot determinative — this verdict is set by the interest-bearing debt ratio, so the impermissible-income line does not change the outcome. | — | < 5% | Under verification |
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 Enbridge 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) | 88.1% | 1.5% | < 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. | 88.1% | 1.5% | < 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. | 48.0% | 0.8% | < 33.33% of total assets | Fail |
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 →

The Final Step: Your Scholar Conversation
Major whether Enbridge Inc. 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.
