What the company does
Alphabet (Google) — exactly the same company as GOOGL, just the non-voting Class C share. Same business: Google Search and YouTube advertising (≈75%), Google Cloud, the Play store and Pixel devices.
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 (2026-06-30), 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: $4217.74B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 33.8% of total assets (2026-06-30). 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.
