An answer with an isnād
This is not a neural network recalling things about Islam. Every answer is derived from a text you can see: the rule that applied, the article it comes from, and its wording. The same question always gives the same answer, and you can check every step yourself.
yesZakāt due
Article 6
from a value at or above the niṣāb a fortieth is due: division by forty, rounded to the hundredth of the monetary unit, half or more rounding up (art. 6)
Денежные средства и торговые товары облагаются по их стоимости. Нисаб денежного имущества равен стоимости восьмидесяти пяти граммов золота; денежное выражение нисаба устанавливается как факт по состоянию на день истечения хауля.

How the answer is reached
Pick a case and follow the whole reasoning: which circumstances were taken, which rule applied, and the article it follows from. The classical inheritance problems are checked against answers this science has held for centuries.
Article texts and rule wordings appear in the language of their own fixed edition: no translation of the content exists, and putting a machine one here would be dishonest.
ʿAwl: the shares overflow the estate
A husband and two full sisters. The Qurʾānic shares come to 1/2 + 2/3 = 7/6 — more than the whole. Who takes what?

- husband — surviving spouse, male
- sister — survived the deceased and is not barred from inheriting
- sister — full sister of the deceased

- and 1 further circumstances

Единственной полнородной сестре принадлежит половина наследственной массы, если у наследодателя нет ни наследующего потомка, ни отца.
Article 3
the husband takes a half when the deceased leaves no inheriting descendant
Мужу принадлежит половина наследственной массы, если у наследодателя нет наследующего потомка.

The camel scale: at twenty-five the kind changes
Up to twenty-four head the due is in sheep; from twenty-five it is a bint makhāḍ she-camel. The steps of the scale come from the source itself and sit apart from the rules, as a table does in a book.
Circumstances
- owner · herd · 25 — the person's herd of camels, by head count (art. 8)
- herd — the herd grazes on open pasture for most of the year (art. 7)
- 25 — Ст. 8. Шкала верблюдов от пяти до ста двадцати голов; хвост свыше 120 — ст. 9, вне таблицы
- herd — the herd is used for work — ploughing, carrying or riding (art. 7)
What the law answers
Where this follows from
Article 7
a herd grazing on open pasture and not used for work is liable (art. 7)
Закятом облагается скот, пасущийся на подножном корму большую часть года. Скот, используемый для работы — пахотный, вьючный или верховой, — закятом не облагается. Овцы и козы учитываются как один вид.
Article 8
Ст. 8. С двадцати пяти до тридцати пяти — бинт махад
С менее чем пяти верблюдов закят не причитается. С пяти до девяти верблюдов причитается одна овца; с десяти до четырнадцати — две овцы; с пятнадцати до девятнадцати — три овцы; с двадцати до двадцати четырёх — четыре овцы.

Rounding: half a hundredth rounds up
A fortieth of 1,000,001 ₸ is 25,000.025 — the remainder is exactly half a hundredth, and article 6 rounds it up to 25,000.03.
Circumstances
- owner · 1000001 — the value of the person's money and trade goods (art. 6)
- 850000 — the monetary niṣāb — the value of 85 grams of gold on the day the ḥawl expires (art. 6)
What the law answers
Where this follows from
Article 6
from a value at or above the niṣāb a fortieth is due: division by forty, rounded to the hundredth of the monetary unit, half or more rounding up (art. 6)
Денежные средства и торговые товары облагаются по их стоимости. Нисаб денежного имущества равен стоимости восьмидесяти пяти граммов золота; денежное выражение нисаба устанавливается как факт по состоянию на день истечения хауля.
Kaffāra: the steps run in order
A deliberate breaking of the fast in Ramaḍān. One moves to the second step only when the first is impossible. No such impossibility is claimed here — so the second step is barred by a decision, not by an omission.
Circumstances
- the faster — the person whose obligation the case asks about (art. 3)
- the faster — the person is of age and of sound mind (art. 3)
- the faster — the person professes Islam (art. 3)
- the faster — the person met the month while able to fast (art. 3)
- the fast day · the faster — the fast day belongs to this person (art. 3)
- the fast day · Ramadan — the day falls in this lunar month (art. 4: the calendar is not computed)
- and 4 further circumstances
What the law answers
Where this follows from
Article 5
eating, drinking or intercourse committed intentionally during daylight break the fast (art. 5; Qurʾān 2:187)
Статья 5. Что нарушает пост
Article 15
a vow is valid when the person taking it is of age, of sound mind and professes Islam (art. 15)

The third step opens on inability
The same facts plus two asserted inabilities — and the ladder reaches its third step.
Circumstances

- the faster — the person is of age and of sound mind (art. 3)
- the faster — the person professes Islam (art. 3)
- the faster — the person met the month while able to fast (art. 3)
- the fast day · the faster — the fast day belongs to this person (art. 3)

The list prohibits what it names
Carrion is named in the list of prohibitions, and the general permission no longer covers it.
Circumstances
- the food — food
- the eater — of mankind
- the eater — of those who believe
- the eater · ADDRESSEES_OF_THE_REVELATION — the eater belongs to the community
- the food — carrion
- the food — that which you have slaughtered
- and 8 further circumstances
What the law answers
Where this follows from
Qurʾān 2:173
carrion is forbidden to you
إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةَ
Qurʾān 5:3
and I have completed My favour upon you
وَأَتۡمَمۡتُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ نِعۡمَتِي
and 7 further steps to this answer
When a proviso restores permission
Dietary permission across twenty-two verses. The answer is not taken from a ready table but built up in order: a general permission holds first, the list of prohibitions overrides it, and the list itself is overridden by the proviso “save that which you slaughter”. Below: the same two questions over three sets of circumstances.
What is not named is permitted
Horse meat is named in none of the four verses of the list. The answer follows from the list being exhaustive — not from horse having been forgotten.
Permittedyes
Prohibitedno answer
The list prohibits what it names
Carrion is named in the list of prohibitions, and the general permission no longer covers it.
Permittedno answer
Prohibitedyes
The proviso on slaughter restores permission
The animal was gored, but slaughter was performed. The proviso “save that which you slaughter” overrides the entry of the list — the third step of the same order.
Permittedyes
Prohibitedno answer
One case, three answers
Al-Akdariyya is the problem the schools part ways on: a husband, a mother, a grandfather and a full sister. The dispute is not about the arithmetic but about whether the grandfather excludes the sister. Here a school’s view is chosen explicitly; until it is, the system stays silent rather than quietly taking a side.
Al-Akdariyya: the base is silent
The same facts with no reading selected. The law does not answer — and that is the correct answer, not a gap.

Al-Akdariyya: the Ḥanafī reading

What this is not
- It is not a fatwā
- The system derives consequences from a fixed text. It issues no religious ruling and replaces no scholar.
- A text is named, not a school
- Behind each section stands a particular work, with its edition given. Where it is an author’s exposition of doctrine and where it is a fixed copy of the source is stated outright, not implied.
- Disagreement is not smoothed over
- Where the schools differ, an answer is given only under an explicitly chosen view. Without that choice there is no answer — and that is an answer, not a gap.
- Silence is not denial
- “There is no answer on this” and “it is established that it does not hold” are different things, and this page keeps them apart.
