What was checked

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.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 9.7% 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:
Qandolat (Oreo, Cadbury, Milka). Faoliyat taqiqlanmagan; jelatin/alkogol masalasi ayrim SKU larda INGREDIYENT darajasida va bozorga qarab o'zgaradi — daromad ulushi 5% dan past (MICC bilan bir mantiq). Bu investitsiya skrini, iste'mol uchun fatvo emas
