Sayyid Ali al-Husayni al-Sistani Q&A (may his shadow endure)
An AI assistant that searches the rulings of the Supreme Religious Authority in his verified works and answers you — by text or voice — in twelve languages, citing the book and ruling number for every answer.
✈️ Ask on TelegramFrom 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

Open the bot on Telegram, press Start, then pick your language or let the bot detect it.
Ask freely
Write in everyday language, send a voice message, or attach an image or document.
Read the ruling with its source

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.
