يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا

“O mankind, eat from the earth what is lawful and pure.”

Surah al-Baqarah 2:168

Halal shouldn’t be a
guessing game.

Hidden ingredients make it hard to eat halal — and the old scanner apps fail on anything missing from their databases. Tayyib was built for the consumer, by the consumer: a global food database, AI that reads every label, and a community that keeps it honest.

The vocabulary

Three words.
No fine print.

Every product resolves to one of these — and every ingredient inside it carries its own.

Halal

Nothing here raises a concern. Every ingredient traces to a permissible source.

Doubtful

The label doesn’t say enough. Rather than pretend certainty, we name the doubt.

Haram

At least one ingredient is impermissible — named, with the reason it fails.

Two examples — a Halal ruling and a Doubtful one.

Premium Chocolate Milk ruled Halal, with a summary noting it is labelled kosher and has no alcoholic ingredients.

Halal

Flamin’ Hot Crunchy Cheetos ruled Doubtful, with a summary warning that it contains one or more doubtful ingredients.

Doubtful

Verified Accuracy

Not a fourth verdict — a seal that sits on top of one. It means a human reviewer has seen this product, confirmed its Halal, Doubtful or Haram ruling, and locked it. The AI can no longer change it.

HalalVerified

AI-assisted guidance — informational, not a fatwa. Verify rulings with a qualified scholar.

How it works

Three steps to a
clear answer.

The Scan Barcode button from the Tayyib home screen.The Scan Ingredients button from the Tayyib home screen.

Scan the product

Point your camera at the barcode. No barcode, or the product isn’t in the database? Photograph the ingredient label instead — Tayyib reads it for you.

Every ingredient, read one by one

Alcohol content, animal-derived sources, additives and E-numbers — each analysed against broadly accepted Islamic dietary guidance.

A product ruled Doubtful, with its ingredients grouped as halal, doubtful and haram — whey expanded to show that it can be derived from animal rennet.

The verdict, with its reasons

A clear ruling on the product and on every ingredient in it. Nothing hidden behind a score — you see exactly why.

The community

Every scan makes
the next one better.

Results are cached and shared the moment someone scans. Scans happening around the world right now are what make the aisle in front of you faster.

Human review

The AI is the
first word, not
the last one.

Anyone can flag a result that looks wrong. A review team works through those flags and locks in a human-approved classification — and once locked, the model cannot overwrite it.

The writeup for whey, marked Doubtful, sourced from IslamQA and answered per Hanafi Fiqh — it explains that the ruling turns on whether the rennet used to curdle the milk is halal.

Verified Accuracy

Products a reviewer has confirmed carry the badge and are locked against change.

FAQ

Honest answers.

Yes. Tayyib is free to download and free to use — no subscription, no ads, and no account required.

Tayyib layers several checks on top of each other. Product data comes from Open Food Facts, the world’s largest open food database. Every ingredient is then analysed by AI grounded in Islamic dietary guidance. On top of that, the community can flag anything that looks wrong, and a human review team verifies products. When the app isn’t sure, it says so honestly instead of guessing.

Some ingredients — certain emulsifiers, enzymes, or flavourings — can come from either permissible or impermissible sources, and the label alone doesn’t say which. Rather than pretending certainty, Tayyib marks these as Doubtful and tells you exactly why, so you can decide for yourself. This follows the Prophetic guidance to leave what makes you doubt for what does not.

Tayyib does not issue fatwas and does not follow a single madhhab. Verdicts are grounded in broadly accepted Islamic dietary principles from the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and published scholarly guidance. Where scholars genuinely differ — on certain gelatins or alcohol-derived flavourings, for example — Tayyib marks the ingredient Doubtful and explains the disagreement rather than ruling on it.

No. There is no sign-up and no login. If you choose to contribute — correcting a product or flagging an ingredient — you can pick an optional alias to earn contributor credit, but it’s never required.
