What the company does
Amazon is the world's largest online store and the largest cloud provider (AWS). Its money comes from online and physical retail (including Whole Foods), marketplace services for third-party sellers, Prime subscriptions, advertising and AWS — and AWS produces most of the profit.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
Business activity
No prohibited activity

Figures from the company's filings (2026-03-31), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $2780.60B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 23.9% of total assets (2026-03-31). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.

Manually reviewed — clean
The industry was flagged as sensitive, so the company's filings were checked by hand on 13 August 2026. Conclusion:
Aralash chakana + bulut (AWS) + ko'ngilochar. Whole Foods/marketpleysda alkogol va cho'chqa bor, lekin ulushi 5% dan past — WMT/COST bilan bir mantiq. Prime Video/Twitch — ko'ngilochar, taqiq emas
