Editorial & Fact-Checking Policy

Rigorous Vetting for Haram Rulings

Due to the sensitive and definitive nature of rulings concerning Haram in Islam, Deentik adheres to the most stringent editorial standards. Our policy reflects the profound legal responsibility of declaring something prohibited.

1. Expertise and Legal Accountability

All content, especially that which deals with the classification of Haram, is subjected to the highest level of scholarly review by our editor, Akhmad Syafiuddin, an expert in Islamic discourse and law, and a distinguished graduate of Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt.

• Principle of Caution: We strictly adhere to the jurisprudential principle that prohibition (tahrim) requires definitive and explicit evidence (dalil qat'i). We avoid classifying anything as Haram based on conjecture or weak evidence.
• Legal Scrutiny: Content is scrutinized for legal precision, utilizing Akhmad Syafiuddin's background in Islamic law to ensure that the definition of Haram is neither overly lenient nor overly strict, but precisely reflective of authentic Islamic Law.

2. Evidence Verification for Prohibitions

Our fact-checking protocol is designed for scrupulous legal verification:

• Qur'an and Mutawatir Sunnah: Only explicit verses of the Qur'an or Hadith whose authenticity is beyond doubt (mutawatir or sahih li-ghayrih with strong support) are used to establish a ruling of Haram.
• Contextual Integrity: We ensure that the ruling on Haram in Islam is presented within its full jurisprudential context, including the conditions under which the prohibition applies (or does not apply) in a Modern American Muslim setting (e.g., necessity/Dharurah).
• Citations: Every article clearly cites the specific source (e.g., Surah/Ayah number, Hadith book/chapter) that establishes the prohibition, thereby bolstering Trustworthiness.
