Terms of Service

Please read these terms carefully before using Mizaan.

Important Religious Disclaimer

Mizaan is a calculation tool, not a religious authority. We do not issue fatwas (religious rulings) or provide binding religious guidance. The calculations and information provided by Mizaan are based on generally accepted interpretations of Islamic jurisprudence, but they should not be considered definitive religious rulings.

For personal religious matters, including questions about your specific Zakat obligations, we strongly encourage you to consult with a qualified Islamic scholar or your local imam. Different scholars may have different opinions on specific situations, and Mizaan cannot account for all individual circumstances.

By using Mizaan, you acknowledge that any reliance on the calculations and information provided is at your own discretion and that Mizaan bears no religious responsibility for your Zakat decisions.

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Mizaan (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our Service. Mizaan is operated from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Service Description

Mizaan provides:

  • Zakat Calculation: Tools to calculate Zakat obligations based on user-provided asset information and selected Islamic school of jurisprudence (madhab)
  • Calculation History: Storage and retrieval of past calculations for registered users
  • AI Explanations: AI-powered explanations of calculation methodology and fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) concepts
  • Shariah Screening: Stock and investment screening for Shariah compliance (free for all users)
  • Purification Tracking: Tools to track and calculate dividend purification amounts

Account Responsibilities

When you create an account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account
  • Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
  • Not share your account with others or allow others to access your account
  • Be at least 18 years of age

You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the financial information you input. Mizaan calculates based on the data you provide and cannot verify the accuracy of your inputs.

Calculation Accuracy

While we strive for accuracy in our calculations:

  • Calculations are based on the asset values and information you provide. Incorrect inputs will result in incorrect calculations.
  • Nisab thresholds are based on real-time gold and silver prices from third-party sources, which may occasionally be delayed or inaccurate.
  • Fiqh rules are implemented based on scholarly consensus and documented sources, but interpretations may vary among scholars.
  • Shariah compliance screening is based on publicly available financial data and established screening criteria, but should not be considered a guarantee of compliance.

You should always verify important calculations and consult with qualified scholars for significant financial decisions.
