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.
The Ethical ReadWhy It Falls Short, in Plain English
iHuman's business is fine, but its receivables are about 88% of its assets, well over the ~49% line, so it does not pass on the financial screens.
