I am actually seeing a real case right now of a stock that is listed as Shariah-compliant, however, it has this quarter issued new units (on a bought deal basis) for financing. By my calculations, this new financing will result in greater than 70% liquidity for the stock and it would not be listed as compliant once the next quarterly financial results are out.
However, the company has done this for the purpose of acquisitions. Within a few weeks of the financing, they have already announced multiple purchases which will be closed shortly.
The stock is actually still listed as halal today, but I suspect temporarily it may not be, however, it will likely be halal again very shortly. How would you advise to deal with such a stock?
It is currently at an attractive price so I would like to purchase it.
Have you been able to find those latest guidelines? I’m looking for the amendments to the liquidity filter as well. It seems like the document Sale of Debt (59) hasn’t been translated to English yet.
