Source hierarchy and evidence trails
Sources & Evidence
EAI separates revelation, authentic Prophetic tradition, jurisprudential interpretation and contemporary application rather than collapsing them into a single authority layer.
Qur'an
Relevant Qur'anic evidence is presented with Arabic text where controlled, accessible English meaning, exact reference and source provenance.
Authentic Sunnah
Hadith references are presented with identifiable collection, locator and grading or authority information where verified. Where rights or verification controls prevent verbatim reproduction, EAI discloses that boundary instead of fabricating text.
Four Madhhabs
Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali positions are kept distinct where relevant, with stable ordering and symmetric visual treatment. EAI does not use a winner badge or correctness ranking.
Citations, provenance and uncertainty
Important claims are tied to identifiable source records, evidence trails and verification state. Unknown or unavailable evidence remains explicitly unavailable rather than being presented as certain.
