Five verdicts
Five honest answers —not just yes or no.
Haram
Contains an ingredient the madhabs consider forbidden.
Doubtful
The source is unclear, or the ingredient isn’t in our database yet. Check the pack for a halal certificate.
Scholars Disagree
The madhabs disagree —
tap to see which ones and why.
Source Unknown
Not enough ingredient data to judge the product. Check the pack or ask the manufacturer.
A common myth
Halal?
Plant-based means no meat. It doesn’t mean no alcohol. Wine, beer or rum can still be in vegan sauces, desserts and sweets — and that makes the product haram.

So don’t stop at the label. Halal One checks every ingredient, every time you scan.
5 madhabs

Pick a school and see how it views the ingredient — exactly like the “Which Madhabs Disagree?” sheet in the app.

Important
Not a halal certificate — an educational tool.
Halal One is not a halal certification body and is not affiliated with any certifier. It helps you understand what’s in a product and how the madhabs view each ingredient. Results depend on the data available and can be incomplete. When in doubt, look for a recognised halal certificate on the pack or ask a scholar you trust.
