No — United Capital Plc (UCAP) is currently NOT Sharia-compliant based on recent Islamic screening.
As of January 2026, UCAP (United Capital Plc) was classified as Shariah Not Compliant according to screening based on major Islamic finance standards like AAOIFI, S&P Shariah, Dow Jones Islamic, FTSE Shariah, and MSCI.
This usually happens because companies in investment banking, lending, and financial services often earn interest (riba) or engage in activities that conflict with Sharia principles.
Important Note
Even though United Capital itself is not Sharia-compliant:
The company does offer Sharia-compliant products like Sukuk funds, which invest in Islamic-compliant securities.
But that does NOT make the stock itself halal.
Simple Conclusion
UCAP Stock → ❌ Not Sharia-compliant
United Capital Sukuk Fund → ✅ Sharia-compliant (different investment)
