Eating food that has safe and nutritious characteristics is very important to maintain the health and vitality of the body. Fish and products derived from fish are rich in nutrients and are in high demand around the world. There is an issue of using formalin on fresh fish to extend the freshness period, as reported in Malaysia as well as globally. According to the Malaysian Food Act 1983 and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, the use of formalin on fresh fish is prohibited. Formalin is categorized as a group 1 carcinogen, which means there are studies that prove formalin causes cancer in humans. However, studies related to the safety of formalin use on fresh fish and its relationship with the concept of halalan toyyiba have not been reported before. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, the researcher used a qualitative method through a content analysis approach by referring to literature related to the safety of formalin according to food science and the concept of food safety according to an Islamic perspective. The results of the study found that there are reports of the use of formalin on fresh fish in Malaysia. Through evaluation from the point of view of halal toyyib and proven by Science, the use of formalin chemicals in food does not meet the characteristics of toyyib because it contains risks to human health and violates the Malaysian Food Act 1983.

Halal logo plays an important role in influencing Muslim consumer’s level of confidence in the Halal status of a product. However, certified Halal logo can be easily manipulated. Besides, detecting and recognizing the credibility of the logo is visually challenging without any computer-vision assistance. Therefore, an automated system is indeed in need to detect and verify the authenticity of the logo. This study proposed the application of Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm in detecting various images of Halal logo, which then was matched with the reference image of certified Halal logo by JAKIM. Accuracy rate of the detected image was then calculated. A total of 100 images of certified logo and fake Halal logo gathered from various resources were used. Testing set which are independent of the training set were used and managed to attain 85.71% of accuracy rate. The experiments show that the proposed method achieved the desirably good result and was able to be at par with other existing methods.

The development of halal cosmetic formulations presents a challenge to obtain optimised formulations with desirable qualities as it involves many ingredients. The advancement of cosmetic technologies employs multivariate statistical techniques such as artificial neural networks (ANN) to optimise cosmetic formulation, which aims to overcome the shortcomings of traditional formulation methods, which are laborious and cumbersome. Okara is a by-product of the production of soy-based products. Okara has been found to have numerous benefits for many industries and has been discovered as a promising halal cosmetic ingredient. Okara is a plant-derived ingredient; it can be incorporated as a cosmetic ingredient if essential aspects of production are addressed, such as using permissible substances, manufacturing, storage, packaging, and delivery following Shariah requirements. This study aims to develop an optimised halal cosmetic soap formulation containing okara using ANN to achieve the desired hardness of the soap. The influential input variables were the main compositions of the okara soap formulations, containing different fatty acids and oils, and okara through a saponification process. In contrast, the hardness (N) of the soap was the response used as the output. Five different algorithms trained ANN. Generic Algorithm (GA) 6-09-1 was selected as the final optimum model to optimise the halal cosmetic soap formulation. GA modelling was further validated, and the experimentally obtained actual hardness (N) value was close to the predicted value. In conclusion, they were optimised formulating using ANN to produce a soap with desirable properties better than those of commercial ones.

Currently, Halal certification received the highest acceptance, especially in the food industry in Malaysia. Modern food production involving packaging, novel foods, Genetic Modification Organisms (GMOs), and newly developed food preservatives like additives, emulsifiers, conditioners, and stabilizers have become more critical in food ingredients. The lack of knowledge and exposure among the halal auditors in this modern food production leads to an issue towards the reliability of the audit process. Thus, this research aims to identify the challenges faced by the halal auditors in Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Kelantan (JAHEAIK) from the scope of halal audits. This research used the qualitative method through in-depth interviews and applied the content and thematic analysis from published material, articles, and journals. Findings from the discussion highlighted two internal challenges: documentation and raw material/ingredients. The result of this research exposed the challenges that deem the area of problems available in the scope of the halal audit and three other external obstacles out of the scope of the halal audit, such as customer issues, lack of equipment, and time allocation. The suggestions and recommendations of this research also improve and overcome the challenges among the halal auditors.
目前,清真认证获得了最高的接受度,特别是在马来西亚的食品行业。现代食品生产涉及包装、新型食品、转基因生物(gmo)和新开发的食品防腐剂,如添加剂、乳化剂、调节剂和稳定剂,在食品配料中变得越来越重要。在现代食品生产中,清真审核员缺乏知识和暴露导致了审计过程可靠性的问题。因此,本研究旨在从清真审计的范围内确定Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam吉兰丹(JAHEAIK)清真审核员所面临的挑战。本研究采用深度访谈的质性方法,并运用出版资料、文章和期刊的内容和专题分析。讨论的结果突出了两个内部挑战:文件和原材料/成分。这项研究的结果揭示了在清真审计范围内存在的问题领域的挑战,以及清真审计范围之外的其他三个外部障碍,如客户问题、缺乏设备和时间分配。本研究的建议和建议也改善和克服了清真审核员面临的挑战。

Online purchase is easy and intriguing but often criticized for the risks of misleading attributes from the advertised products, ambiguous ingredients, unclear of halal status, overrated quality, overpricing issues, scams, delayed delivery and other related issues. However, with the limited physical activities due to the Movement Control Order (MCO) during the COVID-19 pandemic, online purchase is gaining popularity. Hence, this study investigates the factors influencing the public to purchase online. Underpinned by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the marketing mix, four variables are selected for the quantitative survey. The collected data were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis. According to the findings, all variables; convenience, price, trust, and product quality- have a significant relationship with online purchase, with quality being the most influential factor motivating the public to continue purchasing online. The findings indicate that online purchase is captivating and outweighs the probable disappointing risks.

Muslim consumers need products with halal status and good quality. Halal products are obtained if the company implements the Halal Assurance System (HAS). Good quality products are one of the results of implementing a Quality Management System (QMS). HAS and QMS can be integrated because of the similarities in the basic principles. The integration of the two systems provides benefits for the company, such as increasing performance, reducing documentation, reducing costs which lead to efficiency and effectiveness of the company, increasing consumer confidence, and a good corporate image. This study discusses the integration barriers of HAS and QMS using Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) methods. ISM was used to determine the key barriers, while FAHP prioritized barriers in HAS and QMS integration. Barrier integration of HAS and QMS consisted of resources, technical implementation, attitudes, guidelines, economics, and regulations. Each barrier consisted of sub-barriers which will be discussed further in this paper. Questionnaires and focus group discussions are used for data collection. The ISM result showed that regulations and guidance are the key barriers to integration. FAHP showed that the absence of international halal standards was the main sub-barrier and should be resolved immediately. The Prioritization showed the urgency of barriers and sub-barrier that need to be resolved immediately so the integration of HAS and QMS can be adequately implemented.

Effective February 2020, all Ar-Rahnu providers were required to streamline their existing products to the new ar-rahn structure based on the Islamic contract bay al tawarruq and rahn. The action was taken in response to the decision made by the Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) where they claim that the practise of ar-rahn violates the shariah rules as outlined in the Rahn Policy (BNM, 2019). Nevertheless, the BNM enforcement was effective only for IBs or any institutions governed by the central bank and was not applicable to Ar-Rahnu cooperatives. Recent studies indicate that few studies have addressed the implementation of the new ar-rahn structure, and almost no inductive research has been conducted to seek feedback from Ar-Rahnu cooperatives' practioners related to the current changes in the ar-rahn scheme. This paper attempts to obtain views from cooperative members on this particular issue. Furthermore, this study compares the practise of the former ar-rahn scheme with the new alternative ar-rahn. A case study design was employed, and data was obtained through interviews and document review. Emergent findings from the interviews reveal that the majority of Ar-Rahnu cooperatives have adapted to the new ar-rahn scheme. However, Ar-Rahnu cooperatives faced several challenges in realising this new structure. Support from the regulator and management of the cooperatives could expedite the implementation of the new ar-rahn structure, thus enhancing the adherence to shariah. This study contributes to the body of knowledge in Ar-Rahnu and has significant implications for policymakers, customers, and cooperatives.
自2020年2月起,所有Ar-Rahnu供应商都被要求将其现有产品精简为基于伊斯兰合同bay al tawarruq和rahn的新ar-rahn结构。这一行动是为了回应马来西亚国家银行(BNM)伊斯兰教法咨询委员会(SAC)的决定,他们声称拉恩的做法违反了拉恩政策(BNM, 2019)中概述的伊斯兰教法规则。然而,国家银行的执法只对ibb或任何由中央银行管理的机构有效,不适用于Ar-Rahnu合作社。最近的研究表明,很少有研究涉及新的ar-rahn结构的实施,而且几乎没有进行归纳研究,以寻求与ar-rahn计划当前变化有关的ar-rahn合作社从业人员的反馈。本文试图就这一特殊问题征求合作成员的意见。此外,本研究还比较了原ar-rahn方案与新替代ar-rahn方案的实践。采用个案研究设计,通过访谈和文献查阅获得数据。访谈的新发现表明,大多数rahnu合作社已经适应了新的ar-rahn计划。然而,Ar-Rahnu合作社在实现这种新结构时面临若干挑战。合作社监管机构和管理部门的支持可以加快新的ar-rahn结构的实施,从而加强对伊斯兰教法的遵守。本研究为Ar-Rahnu的知识体系做出了贡献,并对政策制定者、消费者和合作社具有重要意义。

Consumers are often subjected to various forms of non-ethical content, such as over-claiming, misleading facts and advertisers' misleading promises. When advertising contains offensive information, it may cause harm to the consumers relying upon it. Moral conflicts arise when advertisements lose their informative value and become merely propaganda for the profit of products and services. Advertisers easily produce advertisements displaying a culture that is not appropriate according to the morality principles of the nation. This paper discusses Malaysia's framework for self-regulation to control the safety of consumers and the obligation of professionals to help consumers from the perspectives of the truthfulness value of the advertising content and authenticity values of the advertisers. This study aims to examine how Malaysia's self-regulation system embraces the principles of truthfulness and authenticity in their messages. The data were obtained from five (5) Malaysian Advertisement Self-regulations (MASR) model through content analysis. The software NVivo 12 is used to conduct themes and sub-themes. The findings indicate an increasing prevalence on the values of truthfulness but do not stress the authenticity values when assessing the concepts that must be considered in the advertising field to reduce adverse commercial issues.

Determining the gender of the heirs is important in the ruling of Islamic inheritance. Hence, Muslim jurists made efforts in determining the gender of hermaphrodites. Taking the safer position, the common practice is for the inheritance to be divided into two: the greater part of the share is withheld and the lesser portion is given out to the hermaphroditic inheritors along with their heirs until their gender is certified. This typically leads to disagreements among the jurists, hence, subsequently leading to a tedious process of certification. This protracted disagreement combined with a much prolonged certification process may harm the inheritors’ right due to the delay in judgement. This research aims to define the biological identity of a hermaphrodite and determine his sex according to the medical concept, as well as integrating the methods adopted by Muslim scholars to solve the issue of hermaphrodite inheritance. Both descriptive and analytical approaches are used in ensuring accurate knowledge transfer and trust in attribution. This research has found that the medical definition of a hermaphrodite is the most accurate and the most correct to end the dispute when dividing inheritance. Hence, this opens a wider area for further research that relies on medical information as evidence to be taken when studying Islamic legal rulings in ensuring the cohesion of society by preserving the rights of its members and maintaining their material and moral properties.

The Islamic banking scheme has become an alternative to the conventional banking scheme since conventional banking is based on riba, that strongly prohibited by Shariah. Islamic banking scheme charges profit through Islamic-authorised sale and leasing transactions between banks and customers. However, through the sale and leasing transactions entered into, the customer is also required to purchase and rent in instalments as specified in the contract. If the client is late paying the specified instalment, how does the bank engage with it? Hence, the study to identify the management of Shariah risk by selected banks through the practice of Islamic housing financing contracts in dealing with the issue of customer default. This study was conducted qualitatively using two main methods: library research and the unstructured interview method. The library research method is applied to build the research theory by reviewing related literature and official websites. As for the interview, it is conducted to obtain primary data on the practice of late payment fines namely ta’wid (compensation) and gharamah (penalty) in selected banks. The researchers apply a purposive sampling method in conducting the interview technique by interviewing experienced and knowledgeable respondents regarding the issue. As a result, this study found that out of the six banks surveyed, only two banks impose two both ta’wid and gharamah, while the other four banks prefer ta’wid fines. The study also found that the Shariah risk solution to the practice of charges imposed by banks is based on the stipulation set by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). This can be learned that only the government can fine offenders through the concept of ta’zir and BNM has delegated its power to the bank to carry out the charge to defaulting customers.
