The Islamic Global Reference
Every answer is bound to a named Mufti, a dated publication, and a verifiable source. No opinions. No edits. No machine-issued rulings.
Dar Al-Iftaa Al-Misriyyah, Egypt's house of fatwa, in a single platform
How it works
What sets The Islamic Global Reference apart from any general search engine or open-internet AI: one source, closed, documented.
The system learns only from the verified publications of Al-Azhar and Dar Al-Iftaa. It cannot learn from the open internet, and it cannot be edited by users.
Every answer is attributed to its Mufti, its publication, and its year, never to the platform itself. The authority is the scholar. The platform is only the vessel.
When the corpus does not hold an answer, the platform says so, openly. No guessing, no hallucinations.
Why this platform
The internet is flooded with unsourced rulings, unverified opinions, and religious content nobody can vouch for. In an age of runaway information, Muslims deserve a voice they can trust. The Islamic Global Reference returns the voice of Dar Al-Iftaa Al-Misriyyah, Egypt's house of fatwa to its rightful place: at your fingertips, sourced, dated, and traceable.
Platform Sections
Every answer is sourced, dated, and traceable to its author and publication.
The Library Behind Every Answer
This is not a platform that invents answers from thin air. This is a real library, drawn from the vaults of Al-Azhar and Dar Al-Iftaa, now opened to anyone seeking certainty.
Modern Dar Al-Iftaa rulings plus the classical fatwa collections — al-Mahdiyya, medical, and more
From Sheikh Hassouna Al-Nawawi to Dr. Nazir Ayyad
Majallat al-Azhar — a century of scholarship since 1349 AH (1931 CE)
The Complete Fatwa Encyclopedia and Al-Sanhuri's thirteen-volume encyclopedia
The Institutional Position
This platform does not issue fatwas. It brings the words of scholars closer to the seeker. The machine retrieves. It does not reason, weigh, or rule. The hand that gives the fatwa is the Mufti's hand, and the authority being cited is the named scholar, by his publication and his year.
The system does not perform ijtihad, does not weigh, and does not improvise. It retrieves what the scholars have written, verbatim, with full attribution.
No answer is anonymous. Every word carries the name of its author, the title of its publication, and the year it was issued.
When the corpus holds no answer, the system says so, plainly. No guessing, no inference, no fabricated conclusions.
An institutional call for a philosophical and jurisprudential framework for AI
“The rational and responsible employment of artificial intelligence in service of the fatwa process, in a way that realizes the Shari'ah-aligned public interest and preserves the religious constants.”.

Grand Mufti of Egypt

A research workbench
Full corpus access with advanced search across 120,000+ fatwas by Mufti, year, and category. Filter by source type, save sources to a research notebook, export citations, and dive verse-by-verse into the Quran with tafsir from every citing scholar.
A guide for everyone
For any Muslim with a question: ask a Mufti in plain language and get a sourced answer. Read and recite the Quran with tajweed. Every response names the scholar who issued it and the publication it came from.
Before you begin
A research tool grounded in Al-Azhar and Dar Al-Iftaa scholarship — not a general model without sources.
This isn't a general chatbot. Every answer is retrieved from a fixed, indexed library of Al-Azhar and Dar Al-Iftaa scholarship — fatwas, tafsir, hadith, and the fiqh of the schools — and then composed with its sources shown. A general model answers from its training with no verifiable source.
