1. Not a Fatwa
Important: The tools and information provided on Halal Seeker are for educational and informational purposes only. They are not religious rulings (fatwa).
For matters requiring religious guidance — including whether a specific product, ingredient, financial arrangement or personal situation is permissible for you — please consult qualified Islamic scholars. Where scholars genuinely differ, our tools show the positions rather than silently choosing one, and the page says which school the default follows.
2. Not Financial Advice
Calculators for Zakat, inheritance, Islamic mortgages, Sukuk and Shariah stock screening are educational tools, not professional financial advice. They apply published rules and standards (such as AAOIFI Shari'ah standards and AMJA fatwa rulings) to the numbers you enter. For investment, mortgage or tax decisions, please consult certified financial advisors.
3. Not Medical Advice
The medicine and cosmetics checkers report what published ingredient references (such as the US National Library of Medicine and the EU Cosmetic Ingredient Database) say about an ingredient. They are not medical advice, diagnosis or a prescription. For a diagnosis, a prescription, or whether a medicine is safe for you, ask a doctor or pharmacist.
4. Schools of Thought Differ
Islamic scholarship differs on details that matter — for example, stunning and machine slaughter, alcohol in flavourings, and whether jewellery in regular use is zakatable. A halal certification mark is one organisation's statement that it audited a product against its own standards, not a single global standard. Where a tool applies one position by default, the page names the standard it follows and links to the source so you can check it.
5. Accuracy of Information
While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or reliability of any information on this website. Prayer times, Qibla directions and other calculations may vary based on different Islamic scholarly opinions and calculation methods. Certification status changes without notice — confirm with the certifying body. Every calculator's answer is only as good as the numbers you enter.
6. Certification Marks
Certification bodies named on this site (including IFANCA, the American Halal Foundation, the Halal Food Authority, the Halal Monitoring Committee, LPPOM MUI and JAKIM) are independent organisations. Naming them does not mean they endorse Halal Seeker, and Halal Seeker does not certify products. Logos can be printed on packages that were never covered by them — always check with the certifying body itself.
7. External Links
Our website contains links to third-party websites, including certifying bodies, regulators and reference sources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these external sites.
