1. Rights holder and copyrighted works

The content of the site includes intellectual property created through the considerable work of the project’s compilers, including:

• translations into Russian and other languages;
• the scholarly apparatus: takhrij, footnotes, commentary, references;
• continuous numbering and classification of masa’il, the structure and arrangement of the collections;
• digitisation, proofreading and textual reconstruction of the sources;
• design, program code, layout and the organisation of the database.

These materials are protected by copyright and by the database maker’s right. The exclusive rights belong to the rights holder of the Kawn Ad-Din project.

2. Classical primary sources

Primary sources in Arabic (the Quran, hadith, classical texts of fiqh) are in the public domain, and we claim no rights to these texts themselves. However, the editorial layer built on them — translations, apparatus, numbering, the verified electronic edition and structure — is the result of our work and is protected.

3. What is permitted

• reading and studying the materials for personal, educational and religious purposes;
• manually copying and saving individual passages for personal use;
• sharing individual materials through the built-in buttons (WhatsApp, Telegram, e-mail) and links;
• quoting passages of reasonable length with mandatory attribution of the source (kawnaddin.com).

4. What is prohibited

Without the prior written permission of the rights holder, the following is prohibited:

• automated data collection (scraping, crawling, by bots, scripts or API enumeration);
• bulk or systematic downloading of materials, exporting the database or a substantial part of it;
• creating mirrors, copies of the site or derivative databases based on our content;
• commercial use, resale or distribution of the materials;
• removing or distorting statements of authorship and source;
• circumventing technical measures that restrict access or the volume of downloads.

5. Religious content — nature of the materials

The materials are provided for reference and education. For practical religious decisions, please consult qualified scholars. The project strives for accuracy in conveying the texts, but does not guarantee the absence of digitisation or translation errors.
