A guide to the Android app

Bank interest purification, with a record you can check.

Looking for a riba purification app? Tatheer, also written Tat’heer, helps you organise financial records and review possible bank interest. It gives you a way to track the entries you identify, check the original statement and export your records.

The app is available on Google Play for Android. Here is what you can do in the current release.

1. Set up your financial records

Create your Tatheer account and add a bank or cash account. You can enter income and expenses manually, edit transactions and keep the records for different accounts separate. Creating an account in Tatheer does not connect it to your bank.

2. Import a CSV or Excel bank statement

Choose a CSV, XLS or XLSX statement using Android’s file picker. Match the columns to the transaction fields, then check the preview and any duplicate rows before confirming the import. Statement formats differ; compare the dates, descriptions and amounts with your original file.

To practise first, download the synthetic CSV example and use a separate practice account. The example contains fictional transactions. The current release does not import PDF statements or statement images, and it does not connect to a live bank feed.

3. Review possible bank interest

Select the eligible INR credit transactions you want to scan and start the scan. Tatheer checks that selection for possible-interest matches; it does not monitor your bank account or read your SMS messages.

Valid selected matches with confidence strictly above 90%are confirmed automatically. Scores of 90% or lower, missing scores and invalid scores remain pending. A confidence score is a detection result, not a religious ruling. Check the narration and amount against your statement, and review or correct entries when needed.

You can also try the manual statement-review demoon this website. It uses fictional entries and does not run the app’s interest detection.

4. Correct entries and export your records

Confirm or exclude possible-interest entries, and correct confirmed amounts when the original statement shows a mistake. You can export records as CSV for your own bookkeeping. Exported files go only to the destination you choose through Android’s share options.

Your records remain under your account. See the app privacy notice for statement processing, storage and retention, or request account deletion if you no longer want to use Tatheer.

5. Keep payment records distinct from verification

Recipient availability and payment-recording options depend on the current published directory and eligibility checks. If you choose to pay a recipient, you do so through that organisation’s own payment channel. Tatheer does not receive, hold or transfer your money.

A payment recorded by you is your own report. It does not establish receipt by the recipient or prove how the funds were spent. Recipient confirmation and spending review remain planned checks.

Tatheer supports record keeping for interest purification. It does not issue fatwas, certify that a religious obligation is fulfilled or replace advice from a qualified scholar about your circumstances. Written scholarly guidance is planned; read how sources will be presented.

Start with a statement you can verify

Keep the original statement alongside your Tatheer records. For help with imports, corrections or your account, visit Tatheer support. Never send bank passwords, verification codes or unredacted statements by email.
