Islamic Disclaimer

📚 Scholarly Consultation Strongly Recommended

While our tools are meticulously designed to assist with Islamic calculations and religious obligations, they should never replace consultation with qualified Islamic scholars (Ulama). For matters of significant religious importance, including but not limited to:

• Zakat obligations and calculations
• Inheritance distribution (Mirath)
• Complex financial transactions
• Religious rulings specific to individual circumstances
• Matters of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh)

We strongly recommend seeking guidance from knowledgeable religious authorities, certified Islamic scholars, or your local Islamic center.

• Hanafi School: Predominantly followed in Turkey, Central Asia, India, Pakistan, and parts of the Arab world
• Maliki School: Primarily followed in North and West Africa
• Shafi'i School: Common in East Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of the Middle East
• Hanbali School: Followed primarily in Saudi Arabia and parts of the Gulf region

Our calculations aim to provide generally accepted methods based on scholarly consensus; however, specific rulings may vary between schools. Users should follow the guidance of their preferred school of thought and consult appropriate scholars when differences arise.
