Quick answers
- What does Hood mean here?
- The house and the block you can walk. Pantry labels, zakat at the kitchen table, how to verify a mosque or a kitchen. Not a live map.
- Is this a fatwa site?
- No. We source published positions and name disagreement. Ask a scholar you trust for your case.
- Do the tools upload what I type?
- No. The checker and calculator run in your browser.
- Will you list mosques and restaurants?
- No. Listings go stale. We write how to verify a door, then you walk to it.
