Methodology and editorial committee

What Hijrapass is

Hijrapass is an independent information site for Muslims who plan to relocate to a Muslim-majority country. We publish country guides, practical guides and neutral comparisons. We are not a law firm, an immigration agent, a tax adviser or a religious authority, and nothing on the site is personal advice.

How a page is made

1. Research: the editor reads official sources first (government portals, central banks, statistics offices, ministries, international organisations and travel advisories) and records the date each one was read.
2. Writing: every figure and every rule in the text links to its source. If a figure is not published, we say so instead of estimating it.
3. Committee review: a second editor checks each figure against its source, the tone and the house rules below. A page that fails goes back for rewriting with written instructions, then returns to review.
4. Specialist review: visa and residence pages are flagged as awaiting review by an immigration professional, and pages that touch on fiqh are checked so that they report views without ruling.
5. Updates: each page shows the date it was last updated. Pages on visas and costs are re-checked on a fixed cadence and whenever an official source announces a change.

Editorial committee

Pages are signed by the Hijrapass editorial team. The committee brings together four roles: a research editor for each region, a data editor who checks every number against its source, a visa and residence reviewer, and a fiqh referee whose job is to make sure differing scholarly views are reported fairly and never decided by us. No page is published without passing the committee.

House rules

• Rankings are never sold. Any sponsored content would be clearly labelled.
• No country is called the best: comparisons are sorted by a criterion the reader chooses, with the source of each criterion.
• We do not promote interest-based products, insurance products, alcohol, gambling or nightlife.
• We do not cover destinations at war or under broad sanctions, and we never describe irregular routes.
• Amounts are given in local currency with a US dollar equivalent, the exchange rate source and its date.
• Photos are real, freely licensed images credited to their authors.
