From his works, not from memory

Every answer is retrieved from a verified text in his books — Minhaj al-Salihin, al-Masa’il al-Muntakhaba, the Istifta’at and more — the bot never issues its own ijtihad.

🔢

Ruling number and edition

Answers cite the book, ruling number and edition; the corrected 1445 AH edition takes precedence.

🎙️

Text, voice and images

Ask by writing or voice message, or send an image or document; get the answer as text or voice.

🌐

Twelve languages

Arabic, English, Persian, Urdu, Hindi, Turkish, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Swedish and Dutch.

🛡️

Says so when it cannot find

If no verified text exists it says so plainly and refers you to His Eminence’s Office — it never invents a ruling.

🔍

Continuous sharia audit

Samples of answers are reviewed in an independent audit channel, and the system is corrected accordingly.

How it works

  1. Start the chat

    Open the bot on Telegram, press Start, then pick your language or let the bot detect it.

  2. Ask freely

    Write in everyday language, send a voice message, or attach an image or document.

  3. Read the ruling with its source

    You receive the verbatim text, its source and ruling number, in the language you chose.

  4. Go to the Office when needed

    For delicate or novel matters the bot refers you via /private to His Eminence’s offices (Najaf · Qom · Lebanon · London).

Independence and honesty

This is an independent project by Sadiqoon; it is not affiliated with, nor speaks for, the Office of Sayyid al-Sistani. The Office has announced it has no accounts or channels on any social network and that its only official website is sistani.org. What the bot quotes verbatim with its source is His Eminence’s; anything else is the system’s effort and is never attributed to him.
