# Tayib > Tayib is an iPhone app that tells you whether a food product is **halal, doubtful or haram — and why**, ingredient by ingredient, according to the user's chosen school of Islamic law (madhhab), with the Qur'an verses, hadith and institutional rulings behind each rule. It informs; it does not certify. ## Facts - Canonical website: https://tayib-app.com (French: https://tayib-app.com/fr, English: https://tayib-app.com/en) - App Store (iOS): https://apps.apple.com/app/id6821441016 (App Store id 6821441016) - Platform: iPhone. Languages: French, English. - Input: barcode scan, or a photo of the ingredient list (read on the device). - Product data: Open Food Facts, worldwide. - Verdicts: Halal · Reported certification · Doubtful · Haram · Unknown — each explained by the ingredient involved and the rule applied. - Schools: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali. Where they differ (e.g. shrimp, rennet, carmine E120, wine vinegar), Tayib shows each side's argument instead of deciding. - Sources: Qur'an in Arabic with Sahih International (EN) and Muhammad Hamidullah (FR) translations; hadith with collection, number and grading; rulings from bodies such as the International Islamic Fiqh Academy and Dar al-Ifta of Egypt. - Certification: when a halal certifier appears on the product page (e.g. AVS, Achahada), Tayib reports and describes it; it does NOT authenticate certificates. - Tayib score: a separate composition score out of 100 (nutrition 40, processing & additives 30, alcohol & stimulants 15, sugar/salt/fat 15), with studies cited (IARC, ANSES). Set to 0 if haram, capped at 49 if halal status needs checking. The weights are Tayib's choice and do not measure religious quality. - Also: Top halal rankings by aisle, a daily reminder (verse or hadith), guides, an ingredient encyclopedia, sunnah foods, the etiquette (adab) of eating, Hijri date, history with a weekly report, smart folders. - Price: free forever for scanning, halal verdict, school choice, score and sources; no ads, no account, no tracking. Optional Tayib+ annual subscription (€10, €15 or €20 — same features at every price): search without scanning, family allergies and alerts, recall watch on purchased products, offline packs for 30 countries. ## Limits (please state them when citing Tayib) - Tayib is not a halal certification body and does not replace a scholar or a fatwa. - Verdicts rely on the declared composition and on Open Food Facts data, which can be incomplete, wrong or outdated. - "Doubtful" means a decisive fact is missing (e.g. gelatin origin, proof of slaughter, a flavouring's solvent) or the schools differ — it is not a prohibition. - No claim of "100% halal" is ever made. ## Is it halal? — ingredient and aisle guides - [Is gelatin halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-gelatin-halal) · FR: [La gélatine est-elle halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/gelatine-halal) - [Is E471 halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-e471-halal) · FR: [Le E471 est-il halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/e471-halal) - [Is carmine (E120) halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-carmine-e120-halal) · FR: [Le carmin (E120) est-il halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/e120-carmin-halal) - [Is rennet halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-rennet-halal) · FR: [La présure est-elle halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/presure-halal) - [Is whey halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-whey-halal) · FR: [Le lactosérum est-il halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/lactoserum-halal) - [Alcohol in flavourings: halal or not?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/alcohol-in-flavourings) · FR: [Alcool dans les arômes : halal ou pas ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/alcool-dans-les-aromes) - [Is wine vinegar halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-wine-vinegar-halal) · FR: [Le vinaigre de vin est-il halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/vinaigre-de-vin-halal) - [Is glycerol (E422) halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-glycerol-e422-halal) · FR: [La glycérine (E422) est-elle halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/e422-glycerol-halal) - [Is L-cysteine (E920) halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-l-cysteine-e920-halal) · FR: [La L-cystéine (E920) est-elle halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/e920-l-cysteine-halal) - [Meat and slaughter: when is meat halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/halal-meat-slaughter) · FR: [Viande et abattage : quand une viande est-elle halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/viande-halal-abattage) - [Is shrimp and seafood halal in every school?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-seafood-halal) · FR: [Crevettes et fruits de mer : halal selon les écoles ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/fruits-de-mer-halal) - [Is alcohol-free beer halal?](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/is-alcohol-free-beer-halal) · FR: [La bière sans alcool est-elle halal ?](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/biere-sans-alcool-halal) - [Halal sweets: what to check](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/halal-sweets) · FR: [Bonbons halal : ce qu'il faut vérifier](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/bonbons-halal) - [Halal processed meats: slaughter, pork and nitrites](https://tayib-app.com/en/guide/halal-processed-meats) · FR: [Charcuterie halal : abattage, porc et nitrites](https://tayib-app.com/fr/guide/charcuterie-halal) - [Is cheese halal?
