NYSE Shariah screener · October 2026
Is 3M Company (MMM) Halal?
3M Company · NYSE: MMM · Industrials
The short answer
Yes — 3M Company (MMM) passes this Shariah stock screen. The FY2025 10-K Item 1 describes three industrial/consumer segments — Safety and Industrial ($11,384M), Transportation and Electronics ($8,272M), Consumer ($4,920M) — with no alcohol, tobacco, gambling, adult entertainment, conventional weapons, or interest-based financial services disclosed, so Gate 1 (business activity) passes. Its financial ratios pass comfortably: interest-bearing debt of $12,551M (Q2 2026 10-Q) is about 14.93% of its ~$84.07B market cap ($163.02, October 1, 2026; 515,722,417 shares), below the ~33% ceiling, and interest income of $232M — separately disclosed in the 10-K's Note 7 — is about 0.93% of revenue ($24,948M), below the 5% ceiling. Musaffa classifies MMM "halal" (October 2026); no ShariaPortfolio coverage was found — honestly reported as absent, not invented. 3M spun off its health care business as Solventum (NYSE: SOLV) on April 1, 2024; MMM is the surviving NYSE-listed entity.
Gate 1 — Business activity: PASS
3M Company (NYSE: MMM) is a diversified technology and manufacturing company founded in 1902 (incorporated 1929, Delaware), headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Per its FY2025 10-K, Item 1 (Business), 3M manages its continuing operations in three reportable segments: Safety and Industrial ($11,384M net sales — abrasives, automotive aftermarket, electrical markets, industrial adhesives and tapes, industrial specialties, personal safety/PPE, roofing granules), Transportation and Electronics ($8,272M — advanced materials, automotive and aerospace, commercial branding and transportation, display materials and systems, electronics materials solutions) and Consumer ($4,920M — home and auto care, home improvement, packaging and expression; brands include Post-it, Scotch, Command, Filtrete, Scotch-Brite, Meguiar's, Nexcare). Total company net sales were $24,948M with 60,500 employees. Haram check (factual, from the filing): the 10-K describes no alcohol, tobacco, gambling, adult entertainment, conventional weapons manufacturing, or interest-based financial services businesses. Safety products used by military customers (e.g., PELTOR headsets) are personal protective equipment, not weapons. 3M spun off its former health care business as Solventum (NYSE: SOLV) on April 1, 2024 (Note 2) and retains a minority stake. Gate 1 passes. Facts only.
Gate 2 — Debt and cash: PASS
Per 3M's Q2 2026 10-Q (quarter ended June 30, 2026), interest-bearing debt was $12,551M — short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt $1,647M plus long-term debt $10,904M. Against a market cap of about $84.07B ($163.02 last close on October 1, 2026; 515,722,417 shares outstanding), debt ÷ market cap is about 14.93%, comfortably below the ~33% ceiling. Cash and cash equivalents of $2,955M plus marketable securities of $375M ($3,330M combined) are about 3.96% of market cap. Finance lease obligations are not separately disclosed in the 10-Q (only operating lease liabilities: $162M current, $447M noncurrent). Gate 2 passes. Facts only.
Gate 3 — Non-compliant income: PASS
3M's FY2025 10-K reports interest income of $232M — separately disclosed in Note 7 (Supplemental Income Statement Information), the breakdown of Other expense (income), net — against total net sales of $24,948M: about 0.93% of revenue, far below the 5% non-compliant income ceiling. The Q2 2026 10-Q (Note 6) likewise discloses interest income as its own line item ($81M for the first six months of 2026). Gate 3 passes on the filings' own figures. Facts only.
