How DeenDrops is made
Everything on this site and in the app comes from a named source, and this page says which. It also says who is behind it, what the answers are and are not, and where to send a correction.
Who makes DeenDrops?
DeenDrops is an independent project made by one person, Salah. A message to hello@deendrops.app reaches Salah directly.
Where do the words come from?
The Qur’an is the Uthmani text as published by quran.com. The translations are published editions from QuranEnc — Saheeh International in English, Isa García in Spanish — and the full passage behind every quote is given in them word for word.
Hadith come from the Encyclopedia of Translated Prophetic Hadiths (HadeethEnc), with its grading and its explanation. The commentary is written from two works of tafsir, Al-Mukhtasar fi at-Tafsir and Tafsir Ibn Kathir, and each page names the one it used.
Arabic is the base language, not a third translation. Every Arabic quote is an exact clause of the passage it cites, and a script checks that against the source. That check found four hadith attributed to the wrong collection, and they were corrected.
How are the answers written?
The answers are written by DeenDrops for someone starting out, in all three languages. They teach settled points of fiqh — what an introductory book would teach — and are never fatwas: a fatwa answers one person’s situation, which a website cannot know.
Each answer says how settled it is. “Scholars agree” means the four schools concur. “Schools differ” means each school’s position is set out and none is chosen for you. “It depends” means the honest answer turns on circumstances, so the page explains what it depends on and what to bring to a scholar.
Every verse an answer cites is taken from the published text rather than typed by hand, and every hadith number is checked against sunnah.com. Some subjects are left out on purpose — takfir, criminal penalties, divorce pronouncements, medical rulings and politics — because on those the circumstances are the whole answer. For anything about your own situation, ask a scholar who can hear the details.
Found a mistake?
Write to hello@deendrops.app with the page and what is wrong: a reference that does not match, a translation that differs from its source, an answer that says more than its evidence does. Corrections are made in the catalog itself, so they reach this site and the app together.
