Get a better scan
- Lay the package flat and photograph the entire ingredients list.
- Use bright, even light; avoid glare and shadows.
- Move close enough that Chinese characters and E-numbers are readable.
- For a long label, send multiple photos in separate messages.
- If you know the brand or product name, include it in the message caption.
Use the result carefully
The Telegram response is an AI first-pass analysis, not a fatwa or halal certification. Recipes can change and photos can be incomplete. Confirm the actual label and consult a qualified scholar or trusted halal authority when the result is uncertain.
Common questions
Do I need Plus to scan a label photo in Telegram?+
Yes. Telegram photo scanning is available to linked ChinaMuslimKit Plus accounts. Pasting an ingredient list into the bot remains available without linking.
How should I photograph the label?+
Use a sharp, well-lit photo with the ingredients list flat and fully visible. Avoid glare, shadows, blur, and folded packaging. If the list is long, send more than one photo.
Can I rely on the Telegram result as a halal ruling?+
No. The result is an AI first-pass analysis. Manufacturers can change ingredients, so always confirm the actual package and consult a qualified scholar or trusted halal authority when unsure.
