SafaScan reads a barcode or an ingredient list and returns a clear halal, haram, or mushbooh verdict — with the ingredient, its likely source, and the scholarly reasoning behind the ruling. Free on iOS and Android.
Certification bodies, label rules, and the products that cause the most doubt differ by market. Each guide covers the local certifier and the ingredients worth checking.
Indonesia runs the world's largest mandatory halal certification system. SafaScan reads the ingredient statement on packaged food sold in Indonesian supermarkets and minimarkets and tells you, in seconds, whether every component is halal, haram, or syubhat (doubtful).
Malaysia's JAKIM halal standard is among the strictest in the world and is recognised globally. SafaScan complements it by analysing the products that fall outside it — imported goods, uncertified brands, and anything where the label alone leaves you unsure.
In Pakistan the everyday halal questions are rarely about meat — they are about imported confectionery, dairy, supplements and cosmetics. SafaScan reads those ingredient lists and returns a plain halal, haram, or mushbooh verdict with the reasoning behind it.
Supermarkets in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman stock a heavily imported range, and halal marks come from dozens of different certifiers. SafaScan checks the ingredients themselves so the verdict does not depend on which logo happens to be on the pack.
