What the company does
Abercrombie & Fitch owns apparel brands: Abercrombie (adults) and Hollister (teens), with 750+ stores plus online. Its money comes from store and site sales.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

Figures from the company's filings (2026-07-31), 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: $6.35B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 23.0% of total assets (2026-07-31). 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.
