Question 1

Does Halaali certify restaurants as halal?

Accepted Answer

No. Halaali is not a certification authority. We surface certifications issued by third-party bodies like HMA (Halal Monitoring Authority), ISNA (Islamic Society of North America), and JUM (Jamiat-Ul-Ulama of Mauritius) so families can see who certified a listing and decide with confidence.

Question 2

How many halal listings are in Halaali?

Accepted Answer

Halaali has 1,200+ halal listings across all categories combined — restaurants, butchers, grocers, masjids, charities, and Muslim professionals — verified for North American Muslim communities and Mauritius.

Question 3

Is Halaali free?

Accepted Answer

Halaali is free for users on iOS and Android. Verified businesses can purchase plans to manage their listing, run deals, and reach the Muslim community.

Question 4

What cities does Halaali cover?

Accepted Answer

Halaali currently focuses on Canadian Muslim communities — Toronto, Mississauga, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa — and Mauritius, with plans to expand across North America.

Question 5

What's the difference between Halaali and Google Maps for finding halal food?

Accepted Answer

Google Maps shows you places that include 'halal' in their name or description. Halaali shows you verified halal listings with the underlying certification (HMA, ISNA, JUM), community signal, prayer times, Qiblah, deals, and a Muslim-first experience built specifically for halal-conscious families.
