- The homepage says the Shamela corpus is overwhelmingly Sunni and labels its displayed citation example illustrative.
Field notes
The page lists sample questions on combining prayers due to hardship, conditions of khulʿ, and gharar in sales. Its displayed hadith citation demonstrates the proposed reference format but is expressly labeled illustrative; the homepage says actual answers cite the retrieved edition and page. ChatDeen also discloses that its Shamela corpus is overwhelmingly Sunni classical scholarship and frames the product as a research aid rather than a source of religious rulings.
