Is THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY (WU) stock halal?
55/100
THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY (WU) currently screens as not halal (non-compliant) under Daleel's methodology, scoring 55/100 and passing 0 of 5 major Sharia screening standards (AAOIFI, DJIM, MSCI, S&P, FTSE).
How it scores against each standard
0 of 5 standards passed. Each standard applies its own thresholds and denominators — disagreement between them is the signal, not noise.
Purification
0.14% of dividends and gains is the estimated non-permissible share to donate to charity to purify the position.
Why
- Financial-sector label (Credit Services) but interest income is only 0.1% of revenue — primarily non-interest business
- Financial-sector company failing all five methodologies — classified non-compliant
