How it works

The closed-corpus principle

What sets The Islamic Global Reference apart from any general search engine or open-internet AI: one source, closed, documented.

  1. 01

    A closed source

    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.

  2. 02

    A named reference

    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.

  3. 03

    Institutional certainty

    When the corpus does not hold an answer, the platform says so, openly. No guessing, no hallucinations.

Why this platform

The fatwa needs a source. The source is here

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

Five ways in. One source of truth

Every answer is sourced, dated, and traceable to its author and publication.

  • Ask a Mufti a question
  • Read and recite the Quran with live tajweed feedback
  • Dive deep into a century of Al-Azhar and Dar Al-Iftaa scholarship
  • Trace every documented relationship of the 1,090 Companions of the Prophet ﷺ
  • Browse a century of Al-Azhar's magazines, volume by volume

The Library Behind Every Answer

Every answer is traceable. Every claim is sourced

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.

The Institutional Position

AI is a tool. The scholar is the authority

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.

  • No machine-issued rulings

    The system does not perform ijtihad, does not weigh, and does not improvise. It retrieves what the scholars have written, verbatim, with full attribution.

  • Every answer cites a named Mufti

    No answer is anonymous. Every word carries the name of its author, the title of its publication, and the year it was issued.

  • Silence is permitted

    When the corpus holds no answer, the system says so, plainly. No guessing, no inference, no fabricated conclusions.

Prof. Dr. Nazir Mohamed Ayyad, Grand Mufti of Egypt

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.”.

Before you begin

Honest answers about how this works

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.
