About Manasik

Most pilgrims arrive having been handed a list of instructions with no way to check any of them. When two people give contradictory advice at the Jamarat — and they will — a list cannot help you, because a list does not say where its instructions came from.

Manasik is built the other way round. Nothing is asserted without its evidence attached, so you can weigh a disagreement yourself instead of guessing who sounds more confident.

Each rite was researched as its own record against a fixed set of fields: a plain-language summary, its classification and the reasoning for it, its Qur'an and hadith evidence with references and gradings, the position of the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali schools, the timing and place, what happens if it is missed, and the mistakes pilgrims commonly make.

Hadith references use sunnah.com numbering so you can open the narration and read it in full. Qur'anic references name the surah and the ayah. Where a report's grading is disputed, the record says so rather than picking the flattering answer.

This is not a fatwa, and it is not a substitute for a qualified scholar. It reports established positions with their evidence; it does not issue rulings, and it does not tell you which school to follow.

Where the schools genuinely differ, Manasik shows the difference instead of hiding it. Following the position of your own school is not a compromise, and neither app nudges you toward one.

Almost everything here has been checked against its source. A few small things have not, and we mark those instead of hiding them.

Nearly all of them are the same one thing. The app can show Arabic in two styles: Standard and Indo-Pak. The Standard text is the one we checked. In about fifteen places we could not confirm that the Indo-Pak version of those same words matches a printed Qur'an, so we said so.

For now these notes sit in our own files, so you will not see a mark on the page.

None of this touches a ruling. Whether an act is a Pillar, an Obligatory duty or a Sunnah, how a hadith is graded, and what each school says — every one of those was checked against its source, and that source is on the page for you to read.

Found a mistake? Tell us. Send the source along with it and we will check it.

Ticking off a rite writes to your own device and nowhere else. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics and no advertising, and nothing you mark is ever uploaded. The only thing that ever reaches us is a message you deliberately type into the contact form — and even there, your email address is optional.

The full privacy policy spells this out claim by claim, each one pointing at the code behind it.
