How it works
Three ways to check anything.
Whatever you're holding, there's a way to ask about it — no typing out a chemical name you can't pronounce.
01 · PHOTO
Snap the label
Point the camera at the ingredient list. It reads the actual text off the packet, including the fine print you'd need to squint at.
02 · BARCODE
Scan the barcode
Point at the barcode and the product's ingredients are looked up and screened before you've put it in the trolley.
03 · SEARCH
Type the name
No packet in hand? Type a product or a menu item and it screens what that item is normally made of.
Honest, not paranoid
Two answers, never a shrug.
Halal or haram — no “maybe” to interpret for yourself. Something is haram when it's actually prohibited, not when an additive's source is merely unstated, and every result names the ingredient that decided it.
Halal
Nothing in it is prohibited. An additive whose source simply isn't stated doesn't count against a product.
Haram
Something prohibited is in it — pork or its derivatives, undeclared gelatin, alcohol as an ingredient, non-zabihah meat.
What you get back
The flagged ingredient, in plain words.
The one ingredient that decided it — named, with where it usually comes from.
One sentence of reasoning, not a wall of hedging.
Halal swaps for the products that didn't make it, so you leave with something.
Your history — every scan kept, searchable, filterable by verdict.
Make it yours
Tuned to your madhhab.
The schools genuinely differ on shellfish, on the source of gelatin, on alcohol used as a carrier. You pick yours once, and the rulings follow it — change it any time.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is a verdict a fatwa?
No. HalalScan.AI is an informational tool, not a religious authority. It shows you what is in the product and how the ruling was reached so you can decide — consult a qualified scholar for definitive rulings, and always read the physical label.
How does it decide?
It reads the actual ingredients — from your photo, the barcode, or the product name — and checks each one against a ruling table compiled from published halal guides (IFANCA's Guide to Halal Food Selection, Jamia Islamia Canada's ingredient list, and cross-checks against JAKIM, MUIS and HMC), weighted to the school you picked. An ingredient one of those documents lists as haram makes the product haram. The table overrules the AI, and every verdict cites which ruling decided it.
Why only halal and haram — no “doubtful”?
Because a maybe is not an answer you can act on in a supermarket aisle. A product is haram when it actually contains something prohibited — pork or its derivatives, undeclared gelatin, alcohol as an ingredient, non-zabihah meat, carmine. An additive that could theoretically come from an animal but is plant-derived in practice, like natural flavors or mono- and diglycerides, does not condemn a product. Where a source is genuinely unstated, the result says so in plain words so you can ask the manufacturer if you want certainty.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your scan history lives on your phone, and deleting the app deletes it.
What does it cost?
Scanning and product search need a subscription: $4.99/month or $50/year, cancellable any time in your Apple subscription settings. There is no free allowance and no free trial period — the app is free to download and to look around, but a verdict needs a subscription. There is no account to make either way, and no ads.
Does it work on food I cook or order?
It works on anything with an ingredient list you can photograph, plus packaged products by barcode. You can also type a product or restaurant item by name and it will screen what that item is normally made of.
Put the guesswork down.
On iPhone. No account, no ads — one subscription, and whatever's in the cupboard.
