Tayib vs other halal scanners
Factual comparison, no bashing. There are many halal scanning apps, and they change quickly. Rather than pinning unverified flaws on any of them, here are the criteria that really matter, Tayib's answer to each, and what to check in the app you use.

How to choose a halal scanner
Everything, row by row
| Feature |  Tayib | Check in your app |
|---|---|---|
| Is the verdict explained? | Yes: the ingredient involved, the question it raises, the rule applied | Do you see why, or just a word? |
| Does it follow your school? | Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi‘i or Hanbali, your choice | One opinion for everyone, or a choice? |
| Are differences shown? | Yes, with each side's argument | Shrimp, rennet, carmine: what does it say? |
| Are sources cited? | Verses, graded hadith, linked fatwas | Can you trace it back to a text? |
| Is 'doubtful' a real category? | Yes: a fact is missing or the schools differ | Does an unspecified E471 default to 'halal'? |
| What does it claim about certification? | It reports a certifier, it does not authenticate it | Be wary of any '100% halal guaranteed' |
| And tayyib? | Separate composition score, studies cited | Are halal and health mixed together? |
| Data and privacy | No account, no ads, history on your iPhone | Account required? Ads? Tracking? |
Ideal user profile
Pick Tayib if
You want a reasoned answer, faithful to your school, that admits what it does not know.
Go with other halal scanners if
Another app may suit you better if its database covers your country better or its method matches the opinion you follow: compare on the same products.
Which one for you?
The right halal scanner isn't the one that says 'halal' most often: it's the one that tells you why, for which school, on which source — and dares to say 'doubtful'. Test them on five products from your cupboard.
