Capabilities

Tools 13

ask_is_it_halal

Ask any 'is it halal' question. Covers money (savings, credit cards, mortgages, BNPL, insurance, pensions, trading), crypto, medicine, food and drink, and everyday life (music, dogs, tattoos, nail polish, smoking, games, photos, jobs). Returns the verdict, the main scholarly views and halal alternatives. Also recognises single ingredients and E-numbers.

Discovered
check_crypto

Is this cryptocurrency halal? Classifies a coin by what it does (lending, gambling, meme, stablecoin, staking, general-purpose) and gives the scholarly views on crypto and on how it's used.

Discovered
check_fund

Is this fund, ETF or pension fund halal? Recognises Shariah funds by name or ticker. For other US-registered funds and ETFs, reads the latest SEC holdings report and screens every holding by industry and debt. UK-listed ETFs (VUSA, CSPX, VWRL, SWDA, EQQQ, ISF and others) and fund names (Vanguard S&P 500, FTSE 100 tracker, LifeStrategy) are answered through a US fund tracking the same index, or from what the index holds, with UK Shariah options.

Discovered
check_ingredients

Check an ingredients list. Takes the ingredients exactly as printed on the pack. Returns an overall verdict, a verdict for each school, and every flagged ingredient with the reason.

Discovered
check_medicine

Is this medicine halal? Reads a medicine's active and inactive ingredients from its US label (openFDA) and flags gelatine, alcohol, pig-derived enzymes and heparin. The headline and say line lead with the ruling on necessity, so nobody stops a prescribed medicine; the ingredient reading follows (ingredient_headline, verdict)

Discovered
check_product_by_barcode

Check a product by barcode. Looks the barcode up in Open Food Facts, then Open Beauty Facts, and checks its ingredients.

Discovered
explain_ingredient

Discovered

screen_stock

Is this stock halal? Screens a US-listed stock via Mizan: first the business (each standard's excluded industries), then the AAOIFI, Dow Jones Islamic, S&P Shariah and MSCI Islamic debt screens. A company name also works (nvidia, philip morris). Links to halal alternatives in the same industry.

Discovered
search_products

Find products by name and check them. Searches Open Food Facts by name or brand (for example 'Haribo Starmix') and returns up to five matches, each with a verdict, plus a 'say' line for the best match. Where a brand states the source of an ingredient its label leaves unnamed (Haribo: pork gelatine in its standard UK range), that statement decides it and is quoted in brand_statement.
