Terms of Service

1 Nature & Purpose of Islamic Rulings (Fatwas)

Darul Ifta Kauzariyya is an Islamic educational and jurisprudence research institution. It is crucial to understand the nature of the verdicts issued:

• Fatwas are provided for spiritual, moral, and conscience guidance of Muslim individuals and communities.
• Not a Court of Law: A Fatwa is not a judicial court decree, statutory legal counsel, medical verdict, or financial investment advice. It does not replace civil or criminal judicial procedures in your jurisdiction.
• In legal disputes (e.g., civil litigation, property disputes, divorce arbitration in civil courts), users must consult accredited legal professionals under their national law.

2 User Accounts & Authentication

When creating an account or authenticating via Google:

• You must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information regarding your contact details and inquiries.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, OTPs, and connected Google account.
• You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or security breach of your account.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that engage in harassment, spam, fraudulent queries, or platform abuse.

3 Inquiry Submission Code of Conduct

To ensure scholarly integrity and meaningful service, users must adhere to the following rules when submitting questions:

• Sincerity & Truthfulness: Questions must be genuine and represent actual scenarios. Fictitious, hypothetical tests, or mocking inquiries are strictly prohibited.
• Respect & Decency: Content containing hate speech, blasphemy, obscenity, defamation, or political agitation will be rejected immediately without notice.
• Clarity & Detail: Provide necessary context and specify your preferred Madhab (Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) if applicable.
• Attachments: Any attached documents (PDFs/Images) must be relevant, lawful, and free from malicious code.
