How We Use Sources

Qur'an and authentic Sunnah are the foundation.
Classical Islamic works are used for tarbiyah principles, not as decoration.
Direct quotes are only used where wording and source location can be reasonably verified.
If exact wording is not verified, the site uses a source-based reflection rather than a direct quote.
Contemporary scholars' lectures are used as educational source notes, not as fatwā.
Developmental research is used to understand age, capacity and psychology; it does not replace Qur'an, Sunnah or Islamic guidance.
Detailed fiqh, tafsīr and ʿaqīdah matters require qualified scholarship.
Sensitive mental health and safeguarding matters require qualified professional support.
