Clear answers about Amanah trust.

No. Amanah is a discovery and trust layer. We surface evidence from certification bodies, restaurant claims, websites, community confirmations and other sources so users can make a clearer decision.

It means Amanah has matched a specific restaurant branch to certification evidence. Where possible, the profile should show the certifier, certificate details, expiry, scope and freshness.

Amanah uses Halal Certified, Restaurant Claimed, Community Confirmed, Community Suggested, Halal Status Unknown, Not Halal and Previously Halal. Partially Halal is used as coverage language when only selected meats or dishes are supported.

Halal Status Unknown means Amanah does not yet have enough reliable public evidence. It is not the same as saying the restaurant is Not Halal.

Status explains why Amanah is showing halal information, such as certification evidence, a restaurant claim or community confirmations. Coverage explains what the claim covers, such as the whole menu, selected meats or selected dishes.

Different diners have different thresholds. Amanah treats alcohol and pork transparency as first-class information so people can decide before they travel.

Halal status can differ by branch. A brand-wide claim should not automatically apply to every location unless the evidence explicitly supports that scope.

Fresh evidence is stronger than stale evidence. Amanah should show when evidence was observed or last checked, and old evidence should lose weight over time.

The rating combines source strength, branch match, menu scope, freshness, reviewed community confirmations and conflicts. Certification evidence usually carries more weight than a restaurant claim, and both carry more weight than a weak or old community signal.

No. The score explains how strong Amanah's supporting evidence is. It does not replace your own religious judgement, a certifier's ruling or direct confirmation with the restaurant.

Yes, but only after review. One or two qualifying sources can support Community Suggested; three or more can support Community Confirmed. Ordinary visit reviews, concerns and certification records stay separate.

Yes. Restaurants can suggest corrections or submit missing details. Trust-sensitive changes should enter review before they affect public labels.

Use the correction flow on a restaurant profile, or add a missing place for review. Amanah is designed to improve when users and restaurants provide better evidence.

No. Payment can never buy halal status or evidence strength. If Amanah later adds promotion, it must be clearly labelled and separate from halal information.
