Research assistant · not a fatwa service

Ask, and get the texts back.

Type a question about Islam in plain English. Barakah pulls together the relevant Quran verses, authentic hadith, and where mainstream scholars discuss the matter. It is a research starting point, not a scholar. For anything serious, ask a qualified scholar who knows your situation.

How to use this well

  • Ask one thing at a time. "Is music halal" will go further than a three-part question stacked together.
  • Answers quote the Quran in Arabic, Romanized transliteration, and English, and cite hadith by collection and number so you can look them up on sunnah.com yourself.
  • When mainstream schools differ, the answer names both positions. It will not pick one for you.
  • This is a starting point. A real question deserves a real scholar who knows your context.
