A weekly transcript to a wali is optional on several swipe apps. That is not a gate.
Zawji is built the other way: photos optional and off by default, no swipe, and she shares her wali’s number when she wants the family in. Chat is not locked on a wali — we do not pretend a weekly email dump is chaperone.
Whether an app is halal depends on how you use it and how it is built. We are not a mufti. We do not sell a fatwa as a button.

Common questions
We are not a mufti. Muzz’s own help describes chaperone as a weekly transcript you can switch on. Optional wali is not a gate. Zawji lets her share a number when she is ready.
Photos optional. No swipe. After a yes, a brother opens that chat with a one-time fee; sisters never have to pay. Wali enters when she shares him — not as a weekly CC.
