What you can ask
Five things, built in
You type a question. It answers — from the same audited data behind our API. Nothing to set up per question.
Check any stock
Any paid planYes — AAPL passes all three AAOIFI screens. Debt and interest income are both well inside the limits, and almost none of its revenue comes from non-permissible sources.
Screen a whole list
Any paid planThree pass. JPM fails — it's a conventional bank. KO is borderline and worth a look.
See the reasoning
Personal Standard and upIts debt sits just under the 30% limit and non-compliant revenue is close to the 5% line. Neither breaches, but both are near.
Work out purification
Personal Standard and upAbout $12.40 — the same share of the dividend as the company's non-permissible revenue.
Pull the full report
Personal Ultimate and upEvery figure behind the verdict — each ratio in percent and dollars, and where the revenue actually comes from.
Wording is illustrative — your assistant phrases things its own way. The underlying verdicts and figures are the real ones, from each company's most recent audited filings. All five are read-only: they look things up and explain them, and can never trade, move money or change your account.
How it works
Three steps from connect to verdict
No new dashboard to learn — your AI assistant becomes the interface.

How we compare
Screening depth and an AI connector
Halal screening apps answer the question. Market-data feeds serve the developers. Akinda does both, and puts it inside your assistant.
| Capability | Akinda | Typical halal screening app | Conventional market-data API |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connects directly to your AI assistant | — | — | |
| AAOIFI-based halal / not halal verdicts | — | ||
| The ratios and dollar figures behind each verdict | Varies | — | |
| Screen an entire portfolio in one request | Varies | — | |
| Dividend purification amounts | Varies | — | |
| US, UK and Canadian listings in native currency | Varies | ||
| Developer API you can build a product on | — |
“Varies” means the capability exists on some products in that category but is not standard across them. Comparison describes product categories, not any specific named provider.
Who it's for
Built for people who invest — and build — with AI
Individual investors
Check a name before you buy it, and get the reasoning in language you can act on.
Fintechs & Islamic banks
Screen a client list in one message instead of checking tickers one at a time.
Developers building AI agents
Give agents five read-only tools that return structured compliance data.
Put AAOIFI screening inside the tools your team already uses
Connect once and ask in plain language. No dashboard to learn, no data pipeline to build.

Do I need to know how to code?
No. Connecting takes three clicks and one paste inside your AI app's settings. After that you just type questions in plain English — there is nothing to install, script, or maintain.
Which AI assistants does this work with?
Our step-by-step guide covers Claude, both the desktop app and claude.ai in the browser. The connector uses the open Model Context Protocol, so assistants that support custom MCP connectors can use it the same way.
Is my subscription shared with the AI company?
No. You sign in with Google to link your own Akinda account, and the questions you ask run against your own plan and limits. Akinda never sees your Google password.
Can the AI change anything in my account?
No. The connector is read-only. It can look up screening data and return answers — it cannot place trades, move money, or alter your account.
Does this replace a scholar?
No. Akinda gives informational screening based on reported financial data, aligned to AAOIFI methodology. It is not a fatwa and does not replace a qualified scholar.
What does it cost to use?
Nothing extra — the connector is included with every paid plan. Answers come out of the request allowance you already have: each lookup your assistant makes counts as one request, and a single question can involve more than one lookup if it asks for several things at once.

Every paid plan includes the connector. Pick a plan, connect once, and start asking.
