Salam Kais, in fact we will face one important problem: not all these answers are right, so we could not trust any website, we should be sure who sent the fatwa. I found some QA, but i am sure not all answers are right, i read some and i found it nonsense. You can have a look at: http://www.godsmosque.org/topten.htm
But do not trust the answers source, some answers are totally not right in my opinion. Or we may collect the QA then we show it to a scholar to select he correct ones. I will try to find more, Best wsihes, Bayan --- On Sat, 27/2/10, Kais Dukes <dukes.k...@googlemail.com> wrote: > From: Kais Dukes <dukes.k...@googlemail.com> > Subject: Re: Advice Required - Dialog System for the Quran > To: "Bayan Shawar" <bsha...@yahoo.com> > Cc: comp-quran@comp.leeds.ac.uk > Date: Saturday, 27 February, 2010, 21:25 > Hello Bayan, > > I think this sounds very exciting and interesting.
