Manually identified reason
Automatic screening reads the industry label, not what's inside. This company's filings were checked by hand and a hidden prohibited activity was found:
Doubtful: crypto — Litecoin treasury (the 'Biotechnology' label is stale); scholarly disagreement + share/interest nature unclear
What the company does
Lite Strategy (formerly MEI Pharma) became a Litecoin crypto-treasury company in 2025 (advised by Charlie Lee); the old oncology program was halted. The Yahoo label ('Biotechnology') is outdated; its value tracks the Litecoin price.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
