This chapter provides the background to the shariʻa councils and explains why Islamic divorce has become the focus of shariʻa council practices. In 1982, a collection of Islamic scholars met in Birmingham to create a new Britain-wide shariʻa council. The scholars had hoped to deal with a wide range of religious issues, from banking and mortgages to standards for halal food. However, few of these issues were brought to their doors. As one of the founding scholars, Suhaib Hasan, said later, “We intended that the council provide decisions for the Muslim community on any and all matters, but pretty soon it became clear to us that we were spending all our time giving women divorces. This was not what we set out to do, but there was a vacuum in the community and we filled it.” When a marriage has broken down, ways must be sought to allow the woman and the man to remarry.

Practical Implications

Purpose This study aims to investigate the determinant factors that consumers may consider in buying halal packaged food produced by non-Muslim manufacturers. Design/methodology/approach This paper develops a seven-constructs-based model. Halal awareness, Islamic brand and product ingredients are used as the pre-determined factors for measuring consumer’s purchase intention. Findings The hypotheses which were tested using partial least squares have revealed that halal awareness and product ingredients have significantly influenced Muslims’ intention to buy halal packaged food that are produced by non-Muslim manufacturers. The findings show that the religious belief, exposure and certification/logo are potential sources of Muslim awareness about halal packaged food from non-Muslim manufacturers. Research limitations/implications This research is also not exempted from its limitations. The data collected for the current study investigate general purchase toward halal products. It would be interesting if future researchers examine consumers’ purchase intention toward specific halal products for specific product categories. A comparative study is also worthy of being steered, as such a study is beneficial for producers and marketers of the halal industry. Practical implications As an overall implication, this study will provide a valuable and important information for non-Muslim halal packaged food manufacturers in identifying the appropriate strategy to fulfill the needs and wants of Muslim consumers at best. It is sufficed to suggest that the Muslim community has adopted halal food from non-Islamic brands as part of their lifestyle choice. Clearly, this gives implications to non-Muslim halal food producers. Thus, it is critical for food manufacturers to increase the level of awareness toward halal products by providing sufficient and interesting information, especially on halal certification. Hence, the manufacturer must take the opportunity to do intensive promotion to encourage more consumers to purchase their products. Originality/value This paper examines consumer purchase intention toward non-Muslim packed food manufactures in Saudi Arabia. It is critical for non-Muslim packed halal food manufacturers to increase the level of awareness toward halal products by providing sufficient and interesting information, especially on halal certification.

Plant-based meat analogues, edible insects, and cultured meat are promising major meat alternatives that can be used as protein sources in the future. It is also believed that the importance of meat alternatives will continue to increase because of concerns on limited sustainability of the traditional meat production system. The meat alternatives are expected to have different roles based on their different benefits and limitations. Plant-based meat analogues and edible insects can replace traditional meat as a good protein source from the perspective of nutritional value. Furthermore, plant-based meat can be made available to a wide range of consumers (e.g., as vegetarian or halal food products). However, despite ongoing technical developments, their palatability, including appearance, flavor, and texture, is still different from the consumers’ standard established from livestock-based traditional meat. Meanwhile, cultured meat is the only method to produce actual animal muscle-based meat; therefore, the final product is more meat-like compared to other meat analogues. However, technical difficulties, especially in mass production and cost, remain before it can be commercialized. Nevertheless, these meat alternatives can be a part of our future protein sources while maintaining a complementary relationship with traditional meat.

The purpose of this article is to find out about how the halal food business is, what halal food restaurants are already in Asia and Europe, what is the potential of the Muslim community in Asia and Europe, and what is the potential of the halal food business in Asia and Europe with the majority non-Muslim society. In Islam, food is not only seen in terms of appearance and taste, but there are more important factors, namely whether the food is halal or not. The halalness of a food is very important as a consideration in the consumption of a food. The study results show that the halal food industry in Asia is increasing. The study results show that the halal food industry in Asia and Europe is increasing. The reason is, the existence of the Muslim population has increased growth, based on the trend of demand for halal products and also halal tourism. This is a great opportunity for business people to meet the demand for halal food. The challenge is how to improve quality and meet halal standards to meet consumer demand.

Abstract: This study aims to determine the authority of LPPOM in establishing halal products after the enactment of Law no. 33 Year 2014. Based on the research results, it is concluded that there has been a change of authority of LPPOM MUI before and after the coming into effect of Law no. 33 year 2014. For 23 years since its establishment, LPPOM MUI has full authority over the establishment of halal certification, but post-birth and enactment of Law no. 33 of 2014, it no longer has full rights to the expenditure and certification of the guarantee of halal products, but only as partners. The need for halal certification or halal label is very needed in Indonesia. Especially the common people and especially the Muslim community in Indonesia, because with the availability of guaranteed halal food products, at least Muslim consumers no longer worry about the existence of a mixture of materials containing harmful substances are prohibited, both legally and religiously.Keywords: Authority, LPPOM MUI, and halal certification. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui wewenang LPPOM dalam penetapan produk halal pasca berlakunya UU No.33 Tahun 2014.Berdasakan hasil penelitian maka diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa terjadi perubahan wewenang LPPOM MUI sebelum dan sesudah berlakunya UU No.33 Tahun 2014. Selama 23 tahunsemenjak berdirinya, LPPOM MUI berwenang penuh atas penetapan sertifikasi halal, namun pasca lahir dan berlakunya Undang-Undang No.33 Tahun 2014, ia tidak lagi memiliki hak penuh atas pengeluaran dan penetapan sertifikasi jaminan produk halal, melainkan hanya sebagai mitra. Kebutuhan sertifikasi halal atau label halal memang sangat dibutuhkan di Indonesia. Terlebih masyarakat awam dan khususnya masyarakat muslim di Indonesia, karena dengan tersedianya jaminan produk makanan halal, setidaknya konsumen muslim tidak lagi khawatir akan adanya campuran bahan-bahan yang mengandung zat berbahaya yang dilarang, baik secara hukum negara maupun agama. Kata kunci:Kewenangan, LPPOM MUI, dan sertifikasi halal.

This article explores the adaptation and modification of the tradition of woni in Manggarai culture, Flores, in encounters with Muslims. Before the Manggarai people met the Muslim community, the tradition of woni was used to honor clans that had certain ceki. Ceki can be compared to the concept of totems in classical anthropological studies, namely animals or plants that are considered sacred by a particular community and become symbols and identities of a clan. Due to its sacred nature, the animal or plant is treated as taboo. In encounters with Muslims, Manggarai Catholics practiced the tradition of woni by providing halal food. This is also done to maintain inter-religious harmony. However, along with the growing awareness of the concept of halal, accompanied by a movement to purify the teachings of Islam and the rise of identity politics, the question of food provided by non-Muslims becomes increasingly sensitive and even crucial. This factor encourages Catholics to adopt variations in practicing the tradition of woni. Employing an ethnographic approach, this study found seven models of adaptation to the tradition of woni practiced by Manggarai Catholics today. The more rigid the Muslim community practices the concept of halal, the higher the adaptation of the Manggarai Catholics to conform to the Muslim standards. Conversely, the easier the practice of Muslims regarding halal food, the model of adaptation by the Manggarai Catholics may become lesser.

Distinctive obsidian artefacts from West New Britain appear sometime before 3950 cal BC and terminate abruptly at 1650 cal BC. We propose that they had a wide range of meanings for their users and functioned in both utilitarian and ceremonial contexts, similar to more recent ground stone axes from Highland New Guinea. They therefore represent the earliest evidence for valuables in Papua New Guinea. Here we draw together studies of the technology, spatial distribution, and chemical sourcing of the artefacts, along with considerations of fragility and brightness, to evaluate competing models for their function as utilitarian items and as exchange goods. Whereas many artefacts were probably useful tools integrated within a mobile settlement pattern, others were clearly reserved for special functions, and many may have operated in both the utilitarian and ceremonial spheres.

Processes of urbanization and modernization created preconditions for qualitative changes in the demographic, social and professional structure of the cities, as well as for the formation of specific socio-professional groups. Meanwhile the active region development contributed to the individual ethno-confessional communities and diasporas formation and institutionalization in cities. The main authors’ task in to identify the ways of forming and the role of the Muslim community in the Siberian cities, based on the analysis of aggregated and nominative materials of the First General Census of the Russian Empire in 1897. The use of census lists makes for the specificity and novelty of the study. On the one hand, the data allow to obtain the most complete list of Muslim persons who were in the cities at the time of the census; on the other hand, it helps to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the demographic, social and occupational characteristics of the Muslim population. We present the socio-demographic characteristics of Muslims who lived in Siberia at the late 19th century including the map of the Muslims’ location in the counties, as well as their number and gender composition in the Siberian cities. The general portrait of the Muslim in the Siberian cities was shaped based on the aggregated data of the 1897 census. The information taken from the census lists made it possible to surmise on about the formation of the Muslim community in individual cities, and to characterize the Muslim society structure in the Tobolsk province cities. The article is intended for specialists-historians, ethnographers, social anthropologists and a wide range of readers.

The Right

Halal business is not confined to Muslim community only. Lately, halal food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and Islamic financing services have gained much attention globally. Businesses around the world are looking to tap this burgeoning market. Within the Islamic global community of 1.8 billion, there exist many markets which have not been tapped and discovered from both cultural and business perspectives. However, there are a lot of abuses recently relating to halal in term of the logo, especially when it comes to foods and products. The questions are whether Muslims’ rights are fully protected under halal statutes and what is the rights conferred by law if they are not complying with the regulation? for example, a question about the origins of foods or products ingredients and whether or not they are complying with an Islamic requirement, and if it is not, what is the best mechanism to overcome this issue in order to protect the consumer. This paper will study on the rights of the consumer in halal products by referring to the legal statutes and also looking at the Quranic verses and Hadith to find out whether the right is stipulated in the statutes and Syara’. The finding of this paper shows that the rights of the consumer has been provided impliedly in legal statutes and also in the Quran and Hadith. This paper made some suggestions to ensure the rights of the consumer will be fully protected by laws specifically in relation to halal products and try to harmonize the rights as implemented in Al-Quran and Hadith into the Malaysian Laws.
