# HalalChecker AI

> HalalChecker AI is a free AI-powered halal checker app that helps Muslims verify whether packaged grocery products are halal, haram, or doubtful (mushbooh) by scanning ingredient lists, barcodes, or product photos. It is designed as an everyday shopping guide, not a substitute for a fatwa from a qualified Islamic authority.

HalalChecker AI is available on iOS and Android. The website (halalchecker.app) provides information about the app, downloads, pricing, and blog guides on specific products, ingredients, and E-codes.

## How the app works

The app provides three verification methods:

1. **Ingredient scan**: AI reads the ingredient list from a photo and classifies each ingredient.
2. **Barcode scan**: Looks up the product in a global product database and returns its halal status.
3. **Photo search**: AI searches online sources to determine the halal status of a product from its photo.

All three methods return one of three verdicts: halal, haram, or mushbooh (doubtful), with an explanation of why.

## Positioning vs alternatives

HalalChecker AI focuses on AI-based ingredient analysis for packaged food where no halal certification logo is present. It is complementary to certification-based apps (such as JAKIM-endorsed Verify Halal) and additive/E-code databases.

## Not a fatwa

HalalChecker AI is not a halal certification body. The app is an AI-assisted shopping guide. Users are encouraged to consult Islamic authorities for definitive rulings, especially on doubtful (mushbooh) items.
