What the bot offers

The answer, from its source

The bot never invents an answer. It searches the fatwa answers, Tahrir al-Wasila, the official speeches, and khamenei.ir — and relays the text as published, with the source name and page number.

Ask in your language

Twelve languages: Arabic, English, Persian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Turkish, and four major African languages — Somali, Swahili, Hausa, and Yoruba. Ask even in your dialect and it understands you; the explanation comes in your language, with the approved text from its source.

Type it — or just say it

Don’t feel like typing? Send your question as a voice message and listen to the answer — in any of the twelve languages. A relief for the elderly and for anyone who finds typing a chore.

Send a photo or a file

A photo of a hijab style, or a work contract you want the ruling on? Attach it to your question — the bot reads it and builds its answer upon it.

It remembers your conversation

Ask, then follow up: “And does this apply while traveling?” — the bot understands your question continues the previous one and answers within your conversation, not as an isolated question.

Brief first — detail if you want it

The answer arrives brief and precise. Want more? Tap “Expand” and the full facets of the topic open with their sources — and you can share the answer, source and page included, in one tap.

It knows its limits

If it finds no verified text, it tells you so plainly and refers you to the Sharia Inquiry Office — it never invents an answer.

This is what a conversation looks like

An everyday question
I work for a delivery company and travel daily between two cities — how do I pray?
A brief answer reaches you within seconds, relayed from its approved source — with the source name and page number at the end, and an “Expand” button for detail.
Then you ask: “And if I travel for something other than work?” — and it continues in the same context. Try it yourself to see the verified answer.

Bound by the searcher's language and terminology
Ask in your language and dialect, and it understands your intent
A text you merely read
Text and voice, and an answer backed by its source and page
A single answer at a fixed level
A concise answer that deepens on demand, shareable with its source

How do we guarantee fidelity?

Answer methodology

Five stations every question passes through.

Source tiers

Not every word carries the same weight: the approved fatwa differs from evidentiary research, and both differ from public discourse or the school’s heritage — every text in the archive is tagged with its tier and treated according to its rank.

Note

His Eminence Sayyid Ali Khamenei (RA) was martyred on 28 February 2026, and his rulings and the body of his fatwas remain an approved reference for his followers, in accordance with what the scholars have ruled regarding the permissibility of continuing to follow him. This bot is an educational service for disseminating his published answers and rulings, and is not an official body for issuing fatwas.
