As Salamu alaikum,
If I do a Purification, do I have to sell part of the shares I own or is it enough if I do the entire cleanup with the dividends I receive?

I have MSCI Islamic ETFs and want to purify my shares based on the following methods

  • Dividend purification method: Only the dividends earned are purified by donating the percentage of non-compliant income (also known as the purification factor).
  • AAOIFI method: The exact amount of non-compliant income attributable to each share is calculated. This amount per share is then purified on an annual basis.

I have this data from the ETF (attached)

Assuming i have 200 shares of this ETF

What is the amount of money i should purify after receiving the dividends and also on an annual basis (aaoifi method)?

Thanks in advance
