# Hadith Answers

> A searchable archive of Hadith questions and answers from qualified scholars.

Hadith Answers publishes original scholarly responses on Hadith authenticity, grading, narrators, virtues, practice, and related Islamic subjects. Each canonical answer page clearly separates the submitted question from the scholarly answer and preserves Arabic source quotations.

## Canonical resources

- [Homepage](https://hadithanswers.com/): Semantic and exact search, latest answers, and site navigation.
- [All answers](https://hadithanswers.com/answers/): Paginated chronological archive.
- [XML sitemap](https://hadithanswers.com/wp-sitemap.xml): Canonical discovery index.
- [RSS feed](https://hadithanswers.com/feed/): Recently published answers.
- [Full answer URL index](https://hadithanswers.com/llms-full.txt): Titles, publication dates, and canonical URLs for all published answers.

## Citation guidance

- Cite the canonical answer page, not a search-results URL.
- Preserve the named scholar, publication date, Hadith grading, references, and qualifications stated in the answer.
- Do not infer a ruling or authenticity grade beyond the wording of the published answer.
- Arabic quotations are source text; surrounding English explains their use and assessment.
