What the company does
Gold Fields (South Africa) is a gold miner with mines in Australia, Ghana, Peru, Chile (Salares Norte) and South Africa. Its money comes from gold 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 (2026-06-30), 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: $32.74B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 13.7% of total assets (2025-12-31). 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.
