Generative AI Policy

TANQIH: Journal of Islamic Law recognizes that generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies may be used as supporting tools in academic research and manuscript preparation.

The use of generative AI must remain consistent with principles of academic integrity, transparency, accountability, and responsible scholarly communication.

Permitted Use of Generative AI

Authors may use generative AI tools for limited purposes such as:

• Language and grammar improvement;
• Translation assistance;
• Editorial assistance; and
• Other appropriate supporting functions.

Author Responsibilities & Integrity

Authors remain fully responsible for the intellectual content and integrity of their manuscripts, including:

• The accuracy of all information;
• The validity of legal arguments;
• The accuracy of citations and references;
• The originality of the manuscript;
• The validity of research findings;
• The proper interpretation of Islamic legal sources; and
• The conclusions presented in the manuscript.

* Authors must independently verify all AI-assisted content. Fabricated references, inaccurate quotations, incorrect legal authorities, or unsupported claims remain the sole responsibility of the authors.

Authorship & Mandatory Disclosure

• Generative AI systems must NOT be listed as authors or co-authors.

Where generative AI has materially contributed to the preparation or development of a manuscript, authors should disclose its use appropriately within the text or acknowledgments.

Confidentiality for Editors and Reviewers

Editors and reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and should not upload unpublished manuscripts or confidential editorial materials to generative AI systems where doing so could compromise confidentiality or intellectual property.

TANQIH reserves the right to request clarification regarding the use of generative AI when necessary to protect academic integrity and the reliability of the scholarly record.
