iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) is one of the most popular ETFs in the world with $530B in assets. We screened every single holding — all 503 stocks — against Shariah standards using the Halal Terminal API to give you a definitive, data-backed answer.

Verdict: IVV is NOT Shariah-Compliant

NOT Shariah-compliant — identical to SPY and VOO. Use SPUS for a halal S&P 500 alternative.

Why IVV Fails Shariah Screening

IVV is iShares' version of the S&P 500 ETF — the same 503 stocks as SPY and VOO, just from BlackRock instead of State Street or Vanguard. The Shariah compliance picture is identical to SPY and VOO: 67% of holdings pass, but banks, insurance companies, and alcohol/tobacco producers make the overall ETF non-compliant.

If you've already read our Is SPY Halal? or Is VOO Halal? articles, the screening results are the same. The choice between IVV, VOO, and SPY is about expense ratios and broker preferences, not compliance.

Bottom line: IVV is not halal. Use SPUS for a Shariah-filtered S&P 500 alternative.
