Are AI answers reliable?

The AI is grounded in classical tafsir and verified hadith, and every normative religious claim is cited. But AI Chat is a study aid, not a replacement for scholarly consultation. For fatwas or personal rulings, consult a qualified scholar.

How RecitID keeps answers grounded:

1. Verse and hadith text isn't written by the AI. The app inserts it from verified sources, so the words you read are the real text.
2. Hadith are cited only from verified sources, never from the AI's memory. A safety check removes hadith citations that can't be verified before the answer reaches you.
3. A sentence that tells you what you should or shouldn't do, without naming its source, is removed from the answer.
4. When scholars differ on a question, the answer is meant to say so rather than present one view as the only one.
5. AI Explain bases its summary on the classical tafsir excerpt (Tafsir al-Jalalayn) for the verse you asked about. If no tafsir is available for that verse, it works from the verse and its translation only.

What the AI won't do: give a religious ruling (halal, haram, permissible or forbidden) for your situation. If you ask for one, it explains that the question "deserves a qualified scholar who knows your context".

How to use answers well:

1. Read the cited source alongside the answer, especially before you act on it.
2. Treat AI notes and commentary as a starting point for study. On Scanner results these sections are labelled "not a scholarly source".
3. For anything personal, such as worship, family or finances, ask a qualified scholar you trust.
