What the company does
Procter & Gamble owns household and personal-care brands: Tide/Ariel laundry, Pampers, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Oral-B and Always. Its money comes from selling products to retailers in 180 countries.
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: $366.90B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 12.6% 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.
