Is Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (WSM) Halal?

PASS

Williams-Sonoma, Inc. · NYSE: WSM · Consumer Discretionary

The short answer

Yes - Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (WSM) passes this Shariah stock screen on all three gates. The business is home-furnishings retail - Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, West Elm, and sister brands, about 65% e-commerce - with no haram segments disclosed in its FY2025 10-K (fiscal year ended February 1, 2026, filed March 25, 2026). The company has no interest-bearing debt (no borrowings under its $600M credit facility) - debt / market cap is 0.0% of ~$27.5B ($233.39 latest quote, October 2, 2026). 'Interest income, net' of $36.8M - the filing's disclosed line - is about 0.47% of net revenues ($7,806.8M), below the 5% ceiling. Note: Zoya rates WSM Shariah-compliant (September 2026) and Musaffa classifies it halal (October 2026); no ShariaPortfolio rating was found.

Gate 1 — Business activity: PASS

Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM) calls itself 'the world's largest digital-first, design-led home retailer' - per the FY2025 10-K. Its brands are Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn Teen, West Elm, Williams Sonoma Home, Rejuvenation, Mark & Graham, and GreenRow; in FY2025 about 65% of net revenues came from e-commerce and 35% from retail stores, operating in the US, Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia, and the UK with franchisees in Mexico, South Korea, India, and the Philippines. Haram flags checked (factual, from the filings): the 10-K discloses no alcohol, tobacco, gambling, weapons, pork, or interest-based lending businesses - the 'Key Rewards' loyalty/credit card program is a marketing program, not a material financial-services segment. Gate 1 passes. Facts only.

Gate 2 — Debt and cash: PASS

Per Williams-Sonoma's FY2025 10-K (fiscal year ended February 1, 2026, filed March 25, 2026), the balance sheet has no interest-bearing debt lines, and the filing states 'During fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, we had no borrowings under our Credit Facility' (an unsecured $600M revolver). Against a market cap of about $27.5B ($233.39 latest quote, October 2, 2026), debt / market cap is 0.0%, below the ~33% ceiling. Cash and cash equivalents of $1,019.8M are about 3.7% of market cap (operating lease liabilities of ~$1.46B are reported separately and are not interest-bearing debt). Gate 2 passes. Facts only.

Gate 3 — Non-compliant income: PASS

Williams-Sonoma's FY2025 10-K discloses 'Interest income, net' of $36.8M as a separate line on the consolidated statements of earnings; cash paid for interest was only $692K, so the net line is essentially all interest income. Against net revenues of $7,806.8M, that is about 0.47% of revenue, well below the 5% non-compliant income ceiling. Gate 3 passes on the filing's disclosed line. Facts only.
