MRU — Metro Inc.

Core business is permissible, but alcohol sales are part of the merchandise mix.

Why?

Metro's core grocery and pharmacy retail business is permissible, but many of its stores sell alcoholic beverages. Screening providers differ on how to treat retailers with a small, non-primary revenue stream from impermissible products.

How this was screened

Primary basis: Financial-ratio screen.

References

• Screened against commonly applied Islamic finance criteria (business-activity exclusions plus AAOIFI-influenced financial ratio thresholds); exact methodology varies by provider (e.g. AAOIFI, S&P/Dow Jones Islamic Market, MSCI Islamic).
