Editorial standards

Every page is drafted by a team of researchers, cross-checked against primary sources, and waits for independent scholar review before being marked as definitive guidance.

Every page is drafted by a researcher, cross-checked against the primary source for each verse and hadith, then run through fifteen automatic content checks before it can be published. These checks block: forbidden phrases (no "absolute cure", "ironclad protection", or similar claims that no human teacher can promise); machine-translation tells; pages flagged publish-ready that fall below the minimum word floor; any hadith cited in prose without a matching entry in the reference register; any Arabic matn that has drifted from the verified text in our register; design parity across all five languages; hreflang correctness; and the presence of the medical disclaimer on every health-relevant page.

After the gates pass, the page sits in editorial-team review. Once independent named-scholar review is complete, the footer badge will move from "Editorial team review only - scholar review pending" to "Reviewed by [scholar name]". We do not pretend a scholar has signed off when they have not.
