Is Tesla halal in 2026? AAOIFI screen + live API verdict

Is Tesla halal? The AAOIFI screen, the financial ratios, and the live verdict from the Akinda API — broken down step by step.

Current verdict: Halal

Tesla's primary business is electric vehicles, energy storage, and solar — none of which fall under prohibited sectors. Financial ratios sit comfortably under their AAOIFI limits in the most recent /full-report response.

Company snapshot

Tesla, Inc. trades under the ticker TSLA and operates in the Automotive / clean energy sector. The Akinda API runs every ticker through the same three-phase screen — business activity, financial ratios, and a final verdict — so the verdict above traces back to the numbers below.

Phase 1: Business activity screen

First we check what Tesla, Inc. actually does. The AAOIFI rule for mixed-business companies says non-compliant revenue must stay below 5% of total revenue, with no exposure to outright-prohibited sectors (alcohol, conventional banking and insurance, gambling, tobacco, pork, weapons, adult content).

  • Automotive — vehicle sales, regulatory credits, vehicle services. Permissible.
  • Energy generation & storage — solar and Powerwall sales. Permissible.
  • Services & other — service centres, merchandise, used-vehicle sales. Permissible.

Non-compliant revenue percentage on /full-report/TSLA: 1.74%. Field name on the wire: non_compliant_revenue_perc.

Phase 2: Financial ratio screen

After the business activity screen clears, the strict AAOIFI grid we apply requires two financial ratios — debt and liquidity / interest-bearing cash position — each below 30% of the company's average 12-quarter market capitalization. Numbers below are the most recent values returned by /full-report/TSLA.

Debt ratio (< 30%)

0.86%

Liquidity (< 30%)

Notes for investors

Tesla's minor non-compliant revenue line (under 5%) is primarily interest income on cash holdings. Investors who hold TSLA dividends (if any) should purify the proportional interest income.
