Sanad · Ask the Sunnah

Every answer, traced back to its narration.

Ask a question in your own words and read the narrations that speak to it. Each one carries its collection, book, hadith number, and grade, so you can follow it back to the source and judge it for yourself. Nothing is paraphrased without the text it came from.

01

Traceable

Every narration keeps its collection, book, and hadith number, so anything you find here can be looked up and verified anywhere else.

02

Graded

Gradings are shown beside the text rather than buried, because the standing of a narration is part of reading it, not a footnote to it.

03

Grounded

Answers are built only from narrations that were actually retrieved, and each is cited. When nothing fits the question, it says so instead of inventing one.
