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:
Social casino (Take-Two → Zynga: poker/slots) — gambling
What the company does
Take-Two Interactive is a video-game publisher: Rockstar (Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead), 2K (NBA 2K, Borderlands) and Zynga mobile games (including poker/slots social-casino titles). Its money comes from game sales and in-game purchases.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.
