What halal auditors actually look for in a medicine
What halal auditors actually look for in a medicine — how RxHalal handles uncertainty, sources, and edge cases.
Quick answer
Transparency is the only thing that makes a halal-medicine tool worth trusting. This page documents how RxHalal handles a specific aspect of that work.
How we work
- Rules first, AI last. The detection engine is rule-based and deterministic. AI is used only to phrase results and to read free-text labels, never to invent a halal verdict.
- Conservative defaults. When in doubt, we say "Unknown" or "Potential concern, Low confidence" rather than picking a side.
- Source hierarchy. Regulator (DailyMed, FDA, EMA, MHRA, SFDA) > manufacturer leaflet > halal certifier (IFANCA, MUI, JAKIM) > heuristic.
- No fatwa. RxHalal is information software. Religious rulings are for scholars.
