Drivers of Purchase Intention Behavior on Islamic Boarding School (Pesantren) Product at Java Island

This study aims to analyze Halal Perceived Value, Brand Image, and Religious Belief on the purchase intention of Pesantren Products at Java Island. This research uses 132 respondents from consumers who live at Java Island, and who have bought pesantren products. The data collected by the researchers were analyzed using a quantitative approach, with the PLS analysis technique using Smart PLS 4 software. Based on the conclusion that both internal and external factors affecting customers might influence their purchasing behavior on Pesantren products. Internal factors of consumers include religious beliefs and attitudes, and the external aspects include halal perceived value and brand image. Additionally, consumer purchase intentions for pesantren products are unaffected by halal trust, this could be because pesantren products have many competitors with similar products, so even though they are guaranteed halal, they still do not affect the intention to purchase the product. This study found the importance of product halal certificates to increase perceptions of halal values and the brand image of pesantren as a halal industry.

Exploring the Islamic Approach to Halal Science: Analysis of Ijtihad Methodology for Determining Permissibility and Prohibition of Blood Plasma in Food Additives

The significance of the Islamic principles of Halal and haram to a sustainable society cannot be overemphasized in the current global struggle against socio-economic, medical, and environmental issues. Halal science products and services are becoming attractive to corporate industries, especially in the food industry. Although related studies in the Halal industry have been gaining attention in recent times, with the global economic outlook to hit $4.96 trillion by 2030, little is known about the research that speaks to the fundamental Islamic principles of halal and haram in the food and services industries. Modern industries are conscious of employing workers who can contribute to the sustainability of the business amid the emerging contemporary realities. This study explicates contemporary Ijtihad methodology of Taḥqīq manāt al-hukm (verifying causal effect existence) and takhrīj manāt al-hukm (coming up with effective cause) in food additives like blood plasma content. To this effect, the study employs qualitative methodology in data gathering and analysis of classical and contemporary literature reviews. This study found that comprehensive Ijtihad methodology and application is a necessity for understanding the modern realities of Halal and Haram in food additives using blood plasma contents.

A Conceptual Stakeholder-Based Model of Malaysia Halal Food Control System

The halal food control system is one of the critical aspects that need attention in sustaining the Malaysian halal industry. In practice, the existing halal food control system involves the roles of several stakeholders and is implemented independently according to their respective jurisdictions. No integrated control mechanism coordinates the roles of all stakeholders, thus resulting in fraud cases to easily happen in the industry. To effectively coordinate these roles, an integrated halal food control system must be developed. Therefore, this concept paper aims to discuss the roles of stakeholders involved in the halal food control system and to propose a conceptual halal food stakeholder control system model based on the objectives of the Islamic law framework. Information for this paper is gathered based on a literature review of previous studies related to the halal food control system. The conceptual model is expected to be a reference and guideline for all stakeholders involved and will serve as a theoretical foundation for future research in this area. Additionally, it can enhance consumer trust in Malaysia’s halal certification and support the country’s goal of becoming a leader in the global halal food industry.

Technology acceptance model in halal industries: a systematic literature review and research agenda

Purpose The continued relevance of technologies in halal industries requires managers to understand the factors contributing to such technologies’ acceptance. The technology acceptance model (TAM) is dominant in the literature that predicts user acceptance and behaviour towards technology. Despite the model’s significance, there has yet to be a systematic review of studies featuring halal sectors that use TAM. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the existing literature on TAM in halal industries to understand the research trends as well as TAM modifications and research opportunities in halal industries. Design/methodology/approach Guided by the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocol, a framework-based review using the theories, contexts, characteristics and methods (TCCM) framework was conducted. The Scopus and Web of Science databases were used to retrieve English journal articles that investigated TAM in the context of halal markets. In total, 44 eligible articles were reviewed in terms of the developments and extensions of TAM in their studies across the halal industries. Findings The first study related to the use of TAM in the context of halal industries was published in 2014. The most prominent halal industry in the review, which used TAM, was Islamic finance. Indonesia was the leading economy in halal studies using TAM. Perceived usefulness was found to be a more significant factor than perceived ease of use for technology acceptance in TAM studies on halal industries. The significance of religiosity on TAM was inconsistent. Most research was done using quantitative surveys with consumers as the target sample. Research limitations/implications The studies in this review are based on the Scopus and Web of Science databases, which may be perceived as a study limitation. This study also only considered English journal articles and research in which the focus was on the use of TAM in halal industries rather than general industries with Muslim consumers. Practical implications Halal industries will continue to rely on technology for the provision of goods and services. With the rise of emerging technological innovations, this review will provide managers with an appreciation of technology acceptance across different contexts. Researchers can use the results of this review to guide future studies and contribute toward the development of this research area. Originality/value This review contributes to the Islamic marketing literature by being the first to comprehensively review the TAM model in the context of halal industries using the TCCM framework-based review approach. A research agenda is proposed to advance research on technology acceptance and TAM in halal industries.

Smart Contract and IPFS Decentralized Storage for Halal Certification Process

The halal industry today has achieved rapid development. Halal product is mandatory for Muslims and a big business for Indonesia. For others, it affirms the product's quality assurance and becomes a trending lifestyle. The product owner must submit an application and undergo several processes to obtain a halal certificate. However, there are challenges in the certification process and documentation. The proposed system automates the flow between certification processes through digital signing and stores the certificate and fatwa file. The study investigates the utilization of blockchain to manage the process and the integration of decentralized storage (IPFS) to store the digital version of the fatwa and certificate. A smart contract is designed and deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, and the transaction time and cost are analyzed. A smart contract enforces that certain actions are executed once the required conditions are fulfilled. The proposed system would cost 24.6 USD and require 227 seconds on average for the system setup. Each submission requires 9.86 USD and takes 92 seconds on average. Verification is free, and the average result can be obtained in one second. The appointed officer sets each entity to interact with the contract, and the digital documents (fatwa and certificate) are available online using IPFS. Progress of the certification is transparent to the public, increasing the public's trust. The study demonstrates a smart contract's capability to manage a product's certification process.
