The Best Halal Stock Screeners in 2026, Honestly Compared
What is the best halal stock screener in 2026?
It depends on the job. Musaffa offers the widest free global screening, Zoya the most polished app with multiple Shariah standards, Islamicly the broadest portfolio compliance tracking — and Plutrex is the only one of the four that combines halal screening with AI analysis and automated strategies executing on your own broker, in Arabic and English.
Full disclosure first: this comparison is written by Plutrex, one of the four platforms on it. We publish it anyway because the honest version of this page did not exist — most roundups in this space are thin affiliate lists. Our rule here is strict: every statement about Musaffa, Zoya and Islamicly was checked on August 8, 2026 against each platform's own public pages and app-store listings, each claim below names its source, and where a competitor is better at something, we say so plainly.
All four platforms answer the first question — "is this stock halal?" — with AAOIFI-based methodologies. They separate on everything after that: coverage, language, analysis depth, and above all what happens when you decide to act.

The four platforms, one honest card each
Musaffa — the widest free screening universe
Musaffa publishes screening across 120,000+ global stocks and 8,200+ ETFs in 60 markets, its methodology is AAOIFI-based and certified by named scholars including a sitting AAOIFI board member, and its free tier includes unlimited halal-status checks. It also offers commission-free self-directed US investing through its partner brokerage, managed halal portfolios, and purification and zakat calculators. Research tiers listed on iOS run $7.49–$36.00 per month (checked Aug 2026).
What we did not find on its published pages: an Arabic interface (its iOS listing names English only), AI stock analysis, or any strategy automation, TradingView or webhook capability (checked Aug 2026).
Best for: free global halal screening at maximum breadthZoya — the most polished screening app
Zoya reports 400,000+ investors and over $1B in connected brokerage assets, screens 30,000+ global stocks with ETF/fund look-through, and is the only platform here offering five Shariah rulebooks (AAOIFI default; S&P, MSCI, Dow Jones, FTSE on Pro). It documents three purification methods and can pass hand-entered orders to seven retail brokers. Zoya Pro is $14.99/month or $119.99/year in the US (checked Aug 2026).
What we did not find on its published pages: any language besides English (its own help center confirms English only), AI analysis, or strategy automation, TradingView or webhook capability (checked Aug 2026).
Best for: comparing Shariah standards in a beautifully built appIslamicly — the veteran of global compliance tracking
Islamicly publishes Shariah data on 30,000+ stocks worldwide, rescreened daily, under a named three-scholar board chaired by Dr. Mohamed A. Elgari. Its portfolio loop is its signature: connect your broker (32+ integrations advertised), import holdings automatically, and get alerted when any stock's status changes — plus pre-built halal 'Moons' portfolios whose orders complete on your broker's platform. US pricing: $35/month, $99/quarter or $349/year (its live pricing endpoint, Aug 2026).
What we did not find on its published pages: an Arabic interface (iOS lists English only), AI analysis, or strategy automation, TradingView or webhook capability (checked Aug 2026).
Best for: keeping an existing global portfolio halal-compliantPlutrex — ours: screening plus AI analysis plus execution
Plutrex is our platform, so judge this card with that in mind. It screens US-listed stocks on AAOIFI-based rules and pairs the screen with what none of the other three showed on their published pages: a 10-factor AI analysis with price forecasts for every covered stock, a full Arabic interface alongside English, and Strategy Studio — a no-code canvas where you design a trading strategy, dry-run it against live data, then arm it to place orders on your own Interactive Brokers or Colmex Pro account 24/7, with additional brokers already under signed agreements and rolling out. TradingView alerts — or any system that sends JSON — can drive an armed strategy. Free tier available; Pro is $19/month.
Where the others are ahead of us, plainly: all three screen global markets while Plutrex covers US-listed stocks, and Musaffa and Islamicly ship purification/zakat tooling that Plutrex does not currently offer.
Best for: Arabic speakers and anyone who wants their halal strategy to execute itselfEvery competitor detail on this page was checked on August 8, 2026 from the platform's own public website, help center, pricing pages or endpoints, and app-store listings.

How to actually choose
If your job is checking whether stocks anywhere in the world are halal — and doing it free — start with Musaffa. If you want the smoothest screening app and the option to compare multiple Shariah standards on one ticker, Zoya has earned its reputation. If your priority is keeping an existing multi-market portfolio compliant with daily rescreening, Islamicly's tracking loop is its specialty.
Choose Plutrex when the question is no longer "what may I buy?" but "why am I still executing my plan by hand?" — or when you want all of it in Arabic. A Plutrex strategy carries the halal constraint inside it, reads the AI analysis layer, listens to TradingView or any webhook signal, and places its orders on your own brokerage account while you sleep. Plutrex is not a broker and never holds your funds.
And if you hold non-US stocks, the honest answer may be two tools: a global screener from the three above for your international holdings, and Plutrex for analysis and execution on the US side.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best halal stock screener app in 2026?
For free global screening breadth, Musaffa. For app polish and multiple Shariah standards, Zoya. For portfolio compliance tracking across world markets, Islamicly. For Arabic support, AI analysis and strategies that execute on your own broker, Plutrex — with the disclosure that Plutrex wrote this comparison.
Do all four use AAOIFI screening?
All four state AAOIFI-based or AAOIFI-aligned methodologies on their own pages. Zoya additionally offers S&P, MSCI, Dow Jones and FTSE Shariah rulebooks to Pro subscribers; Islamicly publishes its exact thresholds and rescreens daily.
Which halal screeners support Arabic?
Of the four compared here, only Plutrex offers an Arabic interface and Arabic AI analysis as of August 2026. Musaffa's and Islamicly's iOS listings name English as their only language, and Zoya's help center states it is English-only.
Which platforms can actually place trades?
All four can lead to a real order, differently: Musaffa offers in-app commission-free US investing via its partner brokerage; Zoya passes hand-entered orders to seven retail brokers; Islamicly advertises trading through 32+ linked brokers with its model-portfolio orders completing on the broker's platform; Plutrex places orders on your own Interactive Brokers or Colmex Pro account — manually or automatically via an armed strategy.
Is there a halal screener with TradingView or webhook automation?
Among these four, only Plutrex, as of our August 8, 2026 review: a strategy can expose a signal mailbox that TradingView alerts — or any system sending JSON — deliver into, and an armed strategy reacts within about a second. We found no comparable capability on the other three platforms' published pages.
