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 19.83% Below 33% Interest-bearing debt is just 19.8% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
Interest-bearing cash 2.88% Below 33% Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 2.9% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
Receivables 0.88% Below 49% Money owed to the company is 0.9% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
Revenue purity 23.45% Below 5% 23.5% 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.

The Ethical Read

Why It Falls Short, in Plain English

Vivendi SE clears the business-activity screen, and its debt is inside the line. Where it falls short is income purity: around 23% of its income right now is non-operating interest income, against a roughly 5% ceiling, so it does not pass. That reflects what it earns today, not the business itself, and it could clear the screen if its operating revenue grows and the interest share falls.
