Is RTX Corporation (RTX) Halal?

FAIL

RTX Corporation · NYSE: RTX · Industrials

The short answer

No — RTX Corporation (RTX) fails this Shariah stock screen at the business-activity gate. It is one of the world's largest aerospace and defense contractors (formed by the 2020 merger of Raytheon Company and United Technologies; renamed from Raytheon Technologies in July 2023): its Raytheon segment provides missiles, integrated air and missile defense (Patriot), smart weapons, interceptors and hypersonics; Pratt & Whitney supplies military aircraft engines including the F135 for the F-35; and Collins Aerospace supplies defense products and battlespace systems. Weapons/defense manufacturing is categorically excluded under Shariah screens, so the debt and income gates are not assessed. Zoya rates RTX not Shariah-compliant (September 2026); no verifiable Musaffa or ShariaPortfolio rating for RTX was found — honestly reported as absent, not invented.

Gate 1 — Business activity: FAIL

RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX), headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, describes itself as an aerospace and defense company serving commercial, military and government customers in the United States and internationally. Formed by the 2020 merger of Raytheon Company and United Technologies Corporation, it was formerly known as Raytheon Technologies Corporation and changed its name to RTX Corporation in July 2023. It operates through three segments: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon. RTX has about 180,000 employees and, at December 31, 2025, reported a backlog of $268B. Business-screen implication (factual): the Raytheon segment provides defensive and offensive threat detection, tracking and mitigation — missiles, air and missile defense (Patriot), smart weapons, interceptors, hypersonics; Pratt & Whitney supplies military aircraft engines (the F135 for the F-35); Collins supplies defense products and battlespace systems. RTX is one of the world's largest defense contractors — weapons manufacturing is on this screener's haram list. Gate 1 fails. Facts only.

Gate 2 — Debt and cash: Not assessed — business gate decisive

Not assessed — the business gate is decisive. Weapons/defense manufacturing is a categorically excluded industry under Shariah screens, so the screen already fails at Gate 1 regardless of the balance sheet. Facts only.

Gate 3 — Non-compliant income: Not assessed — business gate decisive

Not assessed — the business gate is decisive — but for the record, Zoya's page cites interest income of $98M against FY2025 revenue of $88,603M = 0.11% of the combined total. The ratios are moot for a weapons manufacturer. Gate 1 fails. Facts only.

Why does RTX fail this Shariah stock screen?

RTX fails this screen at the first gate — the business-activity gate. It is one of the world's largest defense contractors: its Raytheon segment provides missiles, air and missile defense, smart weapons, interceptors and hypersonics (including the Patriot air and missile defense system); Pratt & Whitney supplies military aircraft engines including the F135 for the F-35; and Collins Aerospace supplies defense products and battlespace systems. Weapons/defense manufacturing is on this screener's haram list. No ratio analysis can cure a weapons-manufacturing business — the debt and income gates are not assessed. Zoya rates RTX not Shariah-compliant. This is a factual screen, not a religious ruling — consult a qualified scholar for personal rulings.

What is RTX's debt ratio?

The debt gate is not assessed for RTX because the business gate is decisive: weapons/defense manufacturing is a categorically excluded industry under Shariah screens, so the screen already fails at Gate 1 regardless of the balance sheet.

What is RTX's non-compliant income ratio?

The income gate is not assessed for RTX because the business gate is decisive — but for the record, Zoya's page cites interest income of $98M against FY2025 revenue of $88,603M = 0.11% of the combined total. The ratios are moot for a weapons manufacturer. Gate 1 fails.

Do Zoya, Musaffa, or ShariaPortfolio cover RTX?

Zoya covers RTX (zoya.finance/stocks/rtx): "As of September 2026, RTX is not Shariah-compliant and therefore not considered halal to invest in" (the same template-contradiction caveat as other Zoya pages applies, but the clean line states the rating plainly). No verifiable Musaffa or ShariaPortfolio rating for RTX was found in public search — honestly reported as absent, not invented. This page applies the screen directly from the company's own disclosed business.
