Aspects of Islamic Law for Halal Products and Services in a New Era: Spiritual, Legal and Moral Dimensions
With the fast growing of Halal industry, and the expansion of the definition of Halal to include all areas of Muslims’ lifestyle, there is an urgent need to build this growth on a very solid and resilient Shariah framework in order to avoid chaos and downfall in the future. While there are so many research analyses on market, economic and statistical growth of Halal and the mundane benefits of this growth, we seldom find a rigorous Shariah analysis on what each element of Halal Industry component involves.
Among the Muslim Classical Jurists, the term Halal was most often used for edible products as opposed to other evolved elements of halal in the new era. Halal products and services in the new era include halal food and its subs, halal banking and finance, halal cosmetics, halal advertisement, halal hospitality and tourism, halal logistic, to mention few.
All these components from Islamic law point may have similar general principle of permissibility, but in practice, however, particular principles are accorded to each component. This core niche area has not been well researched, and it could tantamount to chaos in the future if care is not taken.
My speech today explores aspects of Spirituality, Legality and Morality in Halal Product and Services in this time we are living. The paper elucidates the three dimensions from the sources of Islamic law. How do spirituality, legality and morality affect halal products and services in Islamic law? Why do we need to make our product and services halal from spiritual horizontal dimension? What are the consequences of nonchalance towards adherence to this need?
