Screening Methodology
HalalScreener
AAOIFI Standard No. 21
Uses the globally recognized AAOIFI standard, the gold standard for Shariah-compliant investing. Both qualitative (business activity) and quantitative (financial ratio) screens are applied with transparent thresholds.
Islamicly vs Zoya
Proprietary (Islamicly) / AAOIFI Custom (Zoya)
Islamicly uses a proprietary methodology that isn't independently verifiable. Zoya uses AAOIFI with custom enhancements. HalalScreener uses the globally recognized AAOIFI Standard No. 21 without proprietary modifications, giving investors full transparency into every screening decision.
