How to determine the unlawful percentage received from dividends ?

Fatawa Question

I would like to know with regards to investing in stocks and shares more specifically on purification of the income received as a result of an investment in a company that is Sharia compliant according to your screening criteria outlined in the article on ‘investing in stocks and shares’ http://alqalam.org.uk/research-papers/investment-in-stocks-and-shares/. The question I would like to ask is, how do you find out what percentage of a company’s income has come from non-Sharia compliant sources i. e. what specifically do look at on the balance sheet, meaning the western companies will not say that x amount of income is from interest for example, so what do you look for, where and what figures do you use, from the balance sheet or elsewhere, to calculate the percentage that you need give to Sadaqah ?
