Integration of HAS with blockchain as halal sustainability in maqashid sharia perspective

Efforts to develop the halal industry, especially in the food sector, continue to be encouraged by the government. One of that is by issuing a regulation that requires all circulating products to have a halal certificate. But in fact, not a few business actors commit acts of fraud to obtain the halal certificate. Therefore, what must be considered is not just the labeling of the finished product, but the sustainability of production management and the halal supply chain which can be initiated through the implementation of a Halal Assurance System (HAS) with blockchain management. Halal sustainability has an important role based on the maqashid sharia aspect. This study used a qualitative approach with the type of library research. The data analysis technique used is PESTELE analysis. The results of the study showed that halal sustainability through the application of blockchain-based HAS fulfills the five important elements in maqashid dharuriyyah, namely hifdz al-diin, hifdz al-nafs, hifdz al-'aql, hifdz al-nasl and hifdz al-maal through aspects of embodiment of religious value and consumer protection. PESTELE analysis results showed that an important factor that needs to be considered in the development of the Halal Assurance System is the human error or social and ethical aspects of business actors or those involved in halal production management. This can be the basis for suggestion regarding the importance of increasing education and training in halal management.

Propositions on the Relationships between Technology Complexity, Industry 4.0, and Halal Sustainability

Halal industry is currently one of the fastest growing market segments in the world. With the emerging of IR4.0, the future growth of Halal industry and its sustainability can be affected by the advancement of technology. Technology has continuously assimilated in every aspect of our live from consumerization, commercialization, and industrialization to infrastructure. Even though many factors may have collectively contributed towards better understanding of Halal sustainability, this article focuses only on the technological aspects of Halal in the face of IR4.0. With this focus, four components of technology comprising of technoware, humanware, infoware, and orgaware are discussed. Although each components of technology have been fairly studied in the previous Halal literature, most of them were not specifically emphasized on the sustainability issues. From DCs point-of-view, a firm that is capable of managing the complexity in the components of technology will become more sustainable at Halal marketplace under dynamic environment. A framework is proposed to explain how the technology complexity together with the environmental factors (opportunities and threats of IR4.0) can be affecting Halal sustainability. This article has proposed the complexity in each components of technology will positively affect Halal sustainability. Accordingly, the opportunities of IR4.0 is proposed to have a positive direct and moderation effects on the relationships between technology complexity and Halal sustainability, whereas the threats of IR4.0 will have a negative direct and moderation effects on the relationships.

Enhancing Halal Sustainability through Family Takaful Products Based on the Maqasid Shari’ah Framework

Takaful is growing fast day by days. Other than it can develop the industry of Takaful itself, the main reason by introducing the takaful insurance is to offer or provide an alternative to all Muslims’ needs in protection product. Thus, similar to the conventional insurance, it is to provide the element of protection and indemnity to both individual and corporate bodies against loss or hazards to their selves or wealth but in line with the Maqasid Shari’ah Principles. Hence, the objective of the study has been evaluated the family takaful product which based on the Maqasid Shari’ah framework due to the five preservations or protections (Protection of Religion, Protection of Life, Protection of Intellect, Protection of Progeny and Protection of wealth). Most of the products offered in takaful institutions are in line with the Maqasid Shari’ah perspective as sustainable of financial planning which bring to the social well-being and impartiality for the public interest (maslahah) by taking into consideration of five preservation, namely the preservation of religion (al-ddin), the preservation of life (al-nafs), the preservation of intellect (al-‟aql), the preservation of progeny (al-nasl) and the preservation of wealth (al-mal). Therefore, it is an important not only in developing takaful as a part of industry growing but then beyond than that to fulfill the needs of Muslim as well for all the others as well as enhancing halal sustainability through takaful products development.

ISLAMIC PUBLIC EQUITY FUNDS: ENHANCING HALAL SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH MAQASID SHARIAH FRAMEWORK

Capital market investors in Malaysia have the choice of whether to invest in conventional funds or in Shari’ah compliant funds. However, Islamic law (Shari’ah) is concerned with the moral or ethical value of commercial transactions. Basically, the Muslims are governed by the rules and regulations in respect of halal (permissible) and haram (prohibited). Hence, the objective of the study has been explored the Shari’ah compliant funds products which based on the Maqasid Shari’ah framework due to the five preservations or protections (Protection of Religion, Protection of Life, Protection of Intellect, Protection of Progeny and Protection of wealth). Most of the products offered and developed in Shari’ah compliant public equity funds should be in line with the Maqasid Shari’ah perspective as sustainable of financial planning which bring to the social well-being and impartiality for the public interest (maslahah) by taking into consideration of five preservation, namely the preservation of religion (al-ddin), the preservation of life (al-nafs), the preservation of intellect (al-all), the preservation of progeny (al-nasl) and the preservation of wealth (al-mal). Therefore, it is important not only in developing Islamic equity funds as a part of industry growing but then beyond that to fulfill the needs of Muslims as well for all the others as well as enhancing halal sustainability through Islamic equity funds product development.

Logistical indicators for enhancement of halal sustainability

Halal awareness is becoming increasingly important to Muslim communities around the world, as Muslims form the majority of consumers of halal related products and services. However, due to the stringent protocols and modules to be followed by halal food producers about cleanliness and hygiene, halal food products are increasingly gaining acceptance by non-Muslims alike. Stringent protocols and modules are applied throughout the halal food supply chain, from sourcing to production and distribution. When the manufacturer puts a halal logo on a product, it is a validation of a product's halal compliance. This study looks at the traceability and accessibility of halal product information, both of which are significant in achieving halal sustainability. Data for the study was collected via a questionnaire targeted to Muslim and non-Muslim consumers of halal food products. Correlation and regression analyses were used in this study to address the existence of a relationship between the traceability and accessibility on the enhancement of halal sustainability.
