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:
Mortgage origination + marketing of interest products (Zillow — 7.7% per 10-K > 5%)
What the company does
Zillow is the largest US real-estate site: advertising/lead fees paid by agents (the main revenue), rental listings, and Zillow Home Loans mortgage origination. Its money comes from agent fees, rental ads and mortgages.
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
Mortgage origination + marketing of interest products (Zillow — 7.7% per 10-K > 5%)
