About ShAIkhy

ShAIkhy (شيخي — "My Sheikh") is a free, open-source AI Islamic knowledge engine. Ask a question in Arabic or English; we search 440,000+ passages from the Quran, hadith, tafsir, and classical fiqh — then answer with every claim verified back to its source.

Why

Most Islamic chatbots today either hallucinate scripture or refuse everything. ShAIkhy takes the middle path: retrieve real classical sources, present multiple madhab positions side-by-side, and never fabricate. Where the sources don't reach, we say so plainly and redirect to qualified scholars.

Principles

• Anti-hallucination is non-negotiable. Every claim cites its source.
• Not a fatwa machine. We present evidence and scholarly positions; we don't rule on your life.
• Multi-madhab by default. Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali — all four.
• Free for the ummah, forever. No paywalls.
• Open source. Audit the retrieval, the prompts, the data — all on GitHub.
