All 2 halal screening authorities with a published position rate Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. 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.
Monolithic Power Systems is a fabless semiconductor company focused on power-management chips — the kind of hardware that regulates voltage in servers, laptops, cars, and industrial gear. That is a permissible technology business: revenue comes from selling ICs, not from interest-based lending or insurance underwriting.
On financial ratios, MPWR carries very low debt relative to its large market capitalization and holds modest cash. Filing-verified impermissible income is immaterial versus revenue — under the 5% AAOIFI ceiling on our screen. Any incidental interest on cash should be purified from dividends, but it does not drive the verdict.
Zoya publicly lists MPWR as Shariah-compliant. We did not find MPWR in the SPUS schedule of investments dated February 28, 2026 or among HLAL's published top holdings in June 2026; index composition changes and market-cap banding mean absence from a published top-holdings list is not the same as a failed screen. Check current ETF holdings if index validation matters to your methodology.
Practical takeaway: MPWR is a clean semiconductor case on business activity and ratios — halal on our AAOIFI screen with standard purification and periodic re-checks as the share price and filings update.
Business Activity Screen
Monolithic Power Systems designs, develops, and markets high-performance power-management semiconductors — primarily DC-to-DC converter ICs and lighting-control ICs sold into computing, storage, automotive, industrial, and communications end markets. The 10-K describes a fabless semiconductor model: permissible technology hardware with no conventional finance or insurance core.
Semiconductor product revenue dominates. Interest income is immaterial on our filing-verified screen (under 5% of revenue). No alcohol, gambling, or lending segments are disclosed.

| Impermissible income / total revenueInterest income $29.2M on $2.79B total revenue (Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. FY2025 (fiscal year ended 2025-12-31, Form 10-K)) = 1% — under AAOIFI's 5% limit. | 1.0% | < 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 Monolithic Power Systems 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) | 0.0% | 1.8% | < 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. | 0.0% | 1.8% | < 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. | 0.0% | 30.7% | < 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 →

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 Monolithic Power Systems, 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.
