How a Fatwa Page Is Built
Land on an elfatwa page from a search result, and you're looking at four things, in a fixed order. Nothing is hidden, and nothing shifts around to keep you scrolling. Here is what each part does, and why it's built that way.
The question
The heading at the top is the question, usually close to how someone actually typed or asked it. It isn't rewritten into a catchy headline, and it isn't shortened to fit a template. If your own question is close but not identical, the related questions below can point you to a closer match.
Getting back to where you started
Above the question, a breadcrumb shows the trail back to the homepage, and a "back to search" link sits above that. Neither is decoration. If a question turns out not to be the one you meant, both are one tap away. You never have to hunt for the browser's back button.
The sourced answer
Below the question sits the answer, in full. It is the text as written at its original source on Ftawy, not a rewritten summary. Nothing is shortened, softened, or added — the paragraph breaks are the source's own, kept exactly as they were written.
This matters more than it might seem. A summary can drift from what a source actually said, one small edit at a time, without anyone noticing. Showing the full text closes that gap: what you read is what was published, not elfatwa's version of it.
A short line above the answer estimates how long it takes to read. That number comes from the actual word count, not a guess, so you know what you're starting before you start it. On a short break or a slow connection, that estimate is often the most useful line on the page.
The standing line
Below the answer is a line naming where it came from and, where elfatwa has the date, when it was last reviewed. It reads something like "Summarized from the full answer at Ftawy, reviewed on [date]."
This line exists because elfatwa doesn't claim scholarly authority of its own. Every answer here is a structured presentation of something written and published on Ftawy first. A button beneath the line takes you to the full answer at its source. You are never more than one tap from where it was actually written.
Sometimes that link isn't connected yet for a given answer. When that happens, the page says so plainly instead of showing a button that leads nowhere. A page that pretends to link somewhere it can't is worse than one that admits the gap.
The related questions
Beneath the source line, when there are close matches, a short list of related questions appears. They are in the same language, already published, and ordered by how closely each one relates to the page you're on.
The idea is simple. A question next to yours, or a natural follow-up, should be one click away, instead of a fresh search. Not every page has this yet. Where elfatwa hasn't worked out a page's related questions, the section is left off the page, rather than shown empty.
Why it's built this way
Put together, the page reflects what elfatwa actually does. It finds a question, and presents the answer that already exists for it. It names where that answer came from, and points you toward what's next — the source, and whatever else is nearby.
It doesn't issue rulings of its own, and it never dresses a summary up as more authoritative than its source. That is the whole design brief for this page, and every part of it traces back to that one rule.
If you're not sure where to start, topics groups questions by subject rather than search term. Search works in both English and Arabic. Either one gets you to the same kind of page described here.
