With the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence technologies, questions have emerged regarding their use in sensitive religious fields such as Quran interpretation.

Dar Al-Ifta emphasized that Quranic interpretation is a highly specialized discipline governed by strict scholarly principles, and it should only be undertaken by qualified experts who possess the necessary tools and knowledge.

It clarified that fully relying on AI applications to interpret the Quran is not permissible in Islam, as these tools lack independent scholarly authority and may produce inaccurate or unreliable interpretations.

The ruling is based on the Islamic warning against speaking about the Quran without knowledge, highlighting the importance of preserving the correct understanding of religious texts through recognized scholars.

Additionally, Dar Al-Ifta addressed the use of AI in recreating deceased individuals, explaining that the ruling depends on the intended purpose.

If such technology is used to distort facts, attribute false statements, or cause psychological harm or excessive grief, it is not permissible due to its misleading and harmful nature.

However, if used in a limited and respectful manner for remembrance or supplication without violating ethical or religious guidelines, it may be allowed under specific conditions.

The institution concluded that AI is a powerful tool with both benefits and risks, requiring responsible use to ensure it remains a source of benefit rather than harm.
