The numbers behind the verdict

Interest-bearing debt / market cap: 16.6%
Cash + securities / market cap: 49.0%
Receivables / market cap: 5.0%
Impermissible income / revenue: 0.9%
Illiquid (tangible) assets / total: 21.0%

Thresholds and methodology differ by scholar — e.g. AAOIFI caps interest-bearing debt at 30% of market cap, DJIM at 33%, and Mufti Taqi additionally requires tangible assets to be at least 20% of total assets. That's why two screeners can disagree on the same stock.
