Questions about NAHCO

Is NAHCO Aviance halal to invest in?

Yes, with purification. As of 3 September 2026, NAHCO Aviance (NAHCO) is halal to own under the AAOIFI Standard, provided you purify the non-permissible portion of any dividend you receive.

Are NAHCO dividends halal?

The dividend is permissible to receive once purified. Qistal publishes the purification rate for the current accounts period inside your compliance report, so you can work out the exact amount to give away.

How often is this verdict updated?

Qistal re-screens every NGX ticker when new audited or interim accounts are filed. This page always shows the date of the most recent screen.

Can this verdict change?

Yes. Compliance drifts as a company borrows, raises cash, or changes its business mix, so a verdict describes a moment rather than a permanent status.
