Amanah separates the public status label from the evidence behind it, so users can see whether a branch is Halal Certified, Halal Restaurant Claimed, Community Confirmed, Community Suggested or Halal Status Unknown.

Why Halal Status Unknown does not mean Not Halal
Amanah treats missing evidence carefully. Halal Status Unknown means the public profile does not have enough support yet, not that the restaurant has failed a halal check.

Halal status and menu coverage are different
A public status label explains the evidence behind a claim. Menu coverage explains whether that claim applies to the whole menu, selected meats or selected dishes.
