The ruling first, then the reasoning.

Every answer on Darul Fiqh has the same structure, so you can find the ruling first and the reasoning after it.

How an answer is written

1. Asked

Every answer starts as a real question, published as it was received, without the questioner’s name.

2. Researched

A mufti or trainee mufti of the Darul Iftaa writes the answer and its Fiqh basis from the Hanafi sources.

3. Signed off

Mufti Faraz Adam writes or reviews every answer before it is published. Both names are on the page.

What the ruling labels mean

PermissibleAllowed.
ImpermissibleNot allowed.
DislikedMakrūh: discouraged but not prohibited.
ConditionalPermissible subject to conditions stated in the answer.
Requires detailThe ruling turns on facts the questioner has not supplied.

A label is a summary, not the ruling. The ruling is the answer, read with its conditions. When a label says Conditional or Requires detail, the condition or the missing detail is stated under the answer.

Start where your question is.
