How we source & review
Quran first, named collections, honest grades, school differences noted, and a review date on every guide. If a ruling affects you personally, ask a qualified scholar.
Sources
Source hierarchy
What we quote, in order.
1. Quran
Verses quoted with surah and number (e.g. Quran 2:201). Translation credits on every Quran page.
2. Sahih hadith
Bukhari, Muslim first; then Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Nasai, Ibn Majah — collection named, never a fabricated number.
3. Companion & classical fiqh
Companion practice and well-known fiqh positions, with the school named where rulings differ.
4. Scholarly compilations
Intentions and summaries gathered by scholars — labelled as such, never passed off as hadith.
Grades
What the badges mean
Shown on every dua and hadees.
Direct Quran wording.
Authentic chain — highest confidence.
Fair and acceptable for practice.
Weak — recite for love of worship, not guaranteed transactions. We say so on the page.
Scholar-worded, not a hadith text.
Review
Editorial process
Every guide carries a review date.
1. Draft from sources — writer collects Quran verses + named hadith + school positions.
2. Grade check — every dua/hadees gets origin + grade + narrator where confidently known.
3. Difference note — Hanafi/Shafii/Maliki/Hanbali differences added where they change practice.
4. Review stamp — page shows reviewed date; corrections via Contact → trigger re-review.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Hikmah Noor a fatwa site?
No. Every page is educational. Personal rulings need a qualified scholar who knows your situation — see our Disclaimer.
What does Sahih / Hasan / Daif mean?
Sahih = authentic chain, Hasan = fair/acceptable, Daif = weak. Quranic = direct Quran verse. Scholarly compilation = wording gathered by scholars (e.g. intentions) rather than a hadith text.
Why are hadith numbers not listed?
Editions number hadith differently, so we name the collection qualitatively (e.g. Sahih al-Bukhari) instead of inventing numbers that may not match your copy.
How are school differences handled?
The page gives the widely-practised position, then notes where Hanafi, Shafii, Maliki or Hanbali rulings differ — and asks you to follow your local teacher.
