Copying and pasting articles from other sites is not allowed. Nor is, for various reasons, copying and pasting articles from Wikipedia. However, there are some exceptions to this rule e.g. where a suitable Wikipedia article is going to be deleted or has been deleted. If something specific is being quoted from another site, it should be made clear that it is a quotation. | Copying and pasting articles from other sites is not allowed.

{{Main|WikiIslam:Citing, Linking, and Quoting}}All statements of facts, especially those that are likely to be challenged, must be referenced using inline citations. Naked URLs are not sufficient. What is being referenced should be easily identifiable without having to leave the page through an external link. Minimal information (if available) should include the URL, page title, author, publisher and the date of publication. Each link must also be archived to avoid link rot. When quoting from these sources, bold or italic emphasis may be added, but underlining and all-capitals should be avoided. | {{Main|WikiIslam:Citing, Linking, and Quoting}}All statements of facts, especially those that are likely to be challenged, must be referenced using inline citations.

Although WikiIslam does not host original research, and is built upon citations of established works of scholarship and primary sources, it does consist of original content. As such, WikiIslam maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards the wholesale copying and pasting of content from other websites, whether they be Wikipedia or any other source in print or on the web. As such any editor who engages in this type of plagiarism will be subject to an immediate ban. | |||
