Research basis
Published fiqh works and madhab-specific information shape the product direction.
Sila is available now on the App Store and Google Play. It is a Muslim period tracker that keeps hayd and istihadha context, prayer and fasting status, and missed-fast follow-up on the same record.
Why women search this
A practical answer for women trying to make a worship decision, not just compare features.
Most period trackers are calendars. An Islamic period tracker has to connect the bleeding you logged to a likely prayer and fasting status for your madhab. That is the job Sila is built for. It is a tracking tool, not a fatwa. Unusual cases go to a scholar.
If the app cannot connect your logs to worship decisions, it still leaves the hardest part on you.
| What matters | Sila | Generic period app |
|---|---|---|
| Hayd vs istihadha context | Keeps the distinction visible through fiqh-aware tracking | Usually treats all bleeding as general cycle data |
| Prayer status | Keeps prayer decisions tied to the bleeding record | Not included |
| Ramadan fast debt | Tracks missed fasts across years and keeps qada planning visible | Usually handled outside the app |
Sila is deliberately narrow. We are not trying to publish a giant health encyclopedia. We are building practical guidance around recurring fiqh questions Muslim women face every month.
Research basis
Published fiqh works and madhab-specific information shape the product direction.
Product lens
The app is designed around the lived workflow of logging, checking worship status, and planning missed fasts.
Limit
Sila is a tracking tool, not a replacement for a scholar in unusual or edge-case situations.
Questions women often still have after reading the short answer.
It needs to do more than predict a cycle. It should help a woman connect her bleeding record to hayd and istihadha questions, prayer status, and Ramadan fast debt instead of leaving those decisions scattered across notes, memory, and search results.
No. A tracking tool can apply published madhhab information to ordinary cases and make recurring decisions easier to hold together, but unusual or sensitive cases can still need scholar review.
Sila supports all four Sunni schools so the status can follow the madhab you actually use. Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali.
