Business activity Permissible Core business clean Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines: no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
Debt load 1.14% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 1.1% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass

Receivables 79.94% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 79.9% of assets, above the 49% limit. Fail
Revenue purity Excluded Below 5% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line. Fail

Five checks adapted from AAOIFI screening standards: business activity plus four balance-sheet ratios. All five must pass for ethical clearance. Every figure is arithmetic on public accounts, not judgement.
