Editorial & Fact-Checking Policy

Rigorous Standards for Authentic Islamic Law Content

To uphold the highest level of Trustworthiness and Expertise required when disseminating Islamic Law, Guidelines Islamic Law adheres to a stringent Editorial and Fact-Checking process. This policy ensures every guide, especially those concerning core acts like Wudu, is reliable, accurate, and rooted in classical scholarship.

1. Expertise and Author Review

All content is conceptualized and written under the direct supervision of Akhmad Syafiuddin, an expert in Islamic discourse and law, and a highly qualified graduate of Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt.

• Credential Verification: Content is approved only by individuals whose academic background is demonstrably relevant to Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh).
• Final Sign-Off: Akhmad Syafiuddin personally reviews all rulings to ensure they align with the chosen methodological approach (see Section 3).

2. Evidence-Based Fact-Checking Protocol

We only publish information supported by primary Syariah sources.

• Qur'anic Verification: All interpretations and rulings must be supported by verses from the Holy Qur'an.
• Hadith Authentication: Hadith used as legal evidence are strictly cross-referenced through major collections (e.g., Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim) and only authentic (Sahih or Hasan) narrations are cited for legal conclusions. Weak (Dha'if) or Fabricated (Mawdhoo) hadith are explicitly identified and avoided in deriving rulings.
• Fiqh Consensus (Ijma'): Where applicable, rulings reflect the consensus (Ijma') of recognized classical scholars to maintain the mainstream, authentic Islamic Law position.

3. Corrections and Accountability

We are committed to absolute transparency.

• If a factual error, misquotation, or incorrect reference is identified, we will immediately review the claim.
• Verified corrections will be implemented within 24-48 hours, and a correction note will be appended to the article, preserving the site's Trustworthiness.
