    • In relation to food and beverage, all things are permissible unless otherwise prohibited
    • The basis for this general ruling is a passage from the Qur’an: "It is He who had created for you all things that are on earth" (Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah:29)

      • Haram li ghairihi (prohibited due to others)
    • Examples of Haram li zatihi include:
      • Pork
      • Alcoholic drinks

      • Mixing halal food with haram food, resulting in a haram mixture

    The Sources of Shariah

    • Shari’ah is the dynamic body of Islamic religious law
    • Qiyas is the process of establishing or obtaining a decision, a rule, and judgement for a case due to a certain cause, just because of the existence of the similar case, rule, and judgement in another particular case
    • Example of Qiyas:
      • Extending the ruling against drinking wine to create an injunction against cocaine use due to its intoxicating nature

    Islamic Principles Pertaining to Halal and Haram

    • There are 11 generally accepted principles that provide guidance to Muslims in their customary practices
    • Principle 1: The basic principle is that all things created by God are permitted, with a few exceptions that are specifically prohibited
    • Principle 2: To make lawful and unlawful is the right of God alone
    • Principle 3: Prohibiting what is permitted and permitting what is prohibited is similar to ascribing partners to God
    • Principle 4: The basic reasons for the prohibition of things are impurity and harmfulness

    Fiqh: Islamic Jurisprudence

    • Fiqh is the dynamic body of Islamic religious law that regulates public and private aspects of life according to principles of jurisprudence.

    Five Rulings in Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh)

    • Haram (Prohibited or Unlawful)
      • Refers to any act that is forbidden by Allah
      • Divided into two categories:
        • Haram li zatihi (prohibited by itself): something that is prohibited by itself, e.g., pork, alcoholic drinks, blood, carrion
        • Haram li ghairihi (prohibited due to others): something that was initially permissible but prohibited due to certain circumstances, e.g., halal food mixed with haram food, animal slaughtered in the name of other than Allah
    • Sunnah (Recommended)
      • Refers to rulings that are purely recommended and advocated to be followed without prosecution for its omission
      • Examples: reciting supplication (dua) before consuming food, handling food or drink with the right hand
    • Halal (Permissible)
      • Refers to actions that are neither forbidden nor recommended, and are religiously neutral
      • All things are permissible unless otherwise prohibited by the Islamic Shari'ah
    • Makruh (Discouraged or Disliked)
      • Refers to acts that are disliked and offensive; abstaining from it is rewarding but not haram
      • Examples: eating using the left hand, blowing air while consuming hot food/beverage, talking excessively during eating, making bad remarks or insulting food/beverage, eating food that produces foul smell in the mouth (e.g., garlic)

    Islamic Principles Pertaining to Halal and Haram

    • Principle 5: what is permitted is sufficient, and what is prohibited is then superfluous; God prohibited only things that are unnecessary or dispensable while providing better alternatives
    • Principle 6: whatever is conducive to the prohibited is in itself prohibited
    • Principle 7: falsely representing unlawful as lawful is prohibited
    • Principle 8: good intentions do not make the unlawful acceptable
    • Principle 9: doubtful things should be avoided

    Classification of Halal and Haram Food

    • Meat and Poultry: halal except for pigs, dogs, and their derivatives
    • Cereal and Confectionery: halal except for those containing haram ingredients
    • Fish and Seafoods: halal
    • Milk and Dairy: halal
    • Food Supplements: halal except for those containing haram ingredients
    • Alcohols: haram
    • Gelatin: haram if derived from pigs or dogs
    • Enzymes: haram if derived from pigs or dogs
    • Najs (Unclean or Unpure): things that are themselves not permissible, halal food contaminated or mixed with haram food, halal food that comes into direct contact with haram food, and liquids and objects discharged from human or animal orifices

    Sanitation According to Syariah Law

    • Sertu: cleansing something from najis mughallazah (extreme najs) such as dogs, pigs, and their descendants
    • Najis Mughallazah: highest level of impurity or severe najis in Islam laws that concerns contamination from dogs, pigs, and their descendants
    • Halal Ritual Cleansing: only for cleansing najis mughallazah, requires pure water and soil/clay, and needs to be conducted, supervised, and verified by a Shariah competent person or authorized by the State of Islamic Affairs Department or professional sertu/samak cleaners certified by the Department of Islamic Department (JAKIM) in Malaysia.

    Wajib (Obligatory)

    • Disobedience to Allah's command without a permissible excuse is immoral and considered a sin that will be judged and punished in the afterlife
    • Examples of wajib:
      • The 5 obligatory prayers
      • Fasting during the month of Ramadhan
      • Pilgrimage (hajj)
    • Muslims are obliged to consume halal (permissible) food and avoid haram (prohibited) food
    • Refers to rulings that are purely recommended and advocated to be followed without prosecution for omission or non-adherence
    • Practicing sunnah matters will be beneficial to an individual and shall be rewarded by Allah
    • Omitting sunnah matters will not be considered a sin nor punishable
    • Examples of sunnah:
      • Reciting supplication (dua) before consuming food
      • Handling of food or drink with the right hand

    Halal (Permissible)

    • Actions that are neither forbidden nor recommended, and are religiously neutral
    • Can also be understood through the principle of Istishab (anything that is not expressly prohibited or considered abominable by Islamic Shari'ah is permissible)
    • In relation to food and beverage, all things are permissible unless otherwise prohibited
    • The basis for this general ruling is a passage from the Qur'an: "It is He who had created for you all things that are on earth" (Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah:29)

    Makruh (Discouraged or Disliked)

    • Refers to acts which are disliked and offensive; and abstaining from it is rewarding but not haram
    • In Islam, there are four major sources of jurisprudence:
      • The Qur'an
      • The Sunnah (sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad)
      • Ijma (Islamic Scholars consensus)
      • Qiyas (analogy)

    Sources of Syariah

    • i. Qur'an
      • The central religious text of Islam and the most important source of Islamic law
      • Example: "He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" (Qur'an, Surah al-Nahl:115)
    • ii. Hadith
      • The second fundamental source of Shari'ah law after the Qur'an
      • Constitutes what Prophet Muhammad said, implied or tacitly approved and was noted down by his companions
      • Examples:
        • The ruling on the prohibition of eating wild animals with canine teeth and donkeys
        • The rulings on the prohibition of eating frogs
    • iii. Ijma' (Consensus)
      • The third source of Islamic law, after the divine revelation of the Qur'an and the prophetic practice or Hadith
      • Ideally refers to the consensus of the Islamic scholars
      • Example:
        • Scholars' consensus on the permissibility of eating animal slaughtered by people of the book (Ahl Al-Kitab)
    • iv. Qiyas (Analogy)
      • In situations where no concrete rules exist under the sources, law scholars use various forms of reasoning, including by analogy
      • Drawing analogy from the essence of divine principles is known as Qiyas

    Islamic Principles Pertaining to Halal and Haram

    • Principle 10: Unlawful things are prohibited to everyone alike
    • Principle 11: Necessity dictates exceptions
    • Muhammad said (Sakr, 1994): "Halal is clear and haram is clear; in between these two are certain things that are suspected. Whosoever, leaves them, he is innocent toward his religion and his conscience. He is therefore, safe. Anyone who gets involved in any of these suspected items, he may fall into the unlawful and the prohibition"

    Concepts of Halal Food

    • Food Act 1983 (Section 2): Defines 'food' as "every article manufactured, sold or represented for use as food and drink for human consumption or which enters into or is used in the composition, preparation, preservation, of any food or drink and includes confectionery, chewing substances and any ingredient of such food, drink or chewing substances"
    • Codex Alimentarius: A collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations relating to foods, food production, and food safety under the aegis of consumer protection
    • Halal Food: JAKIM Perspective
      • One of the Malaysian Standards on halal used by JAKIM as a guideline for halal food, halal process, and halal outlets
      • Halal Standard MS1500:2019: Halal Food – General Requirements (Third Revision)
      • Halal food covers foods and beverages and/or their ingredients permitted under the Shariah law and fatwa, and fulfills the following conditions:
        • Does not consist of or contains any part of matter of an animal that is prohibited by Shariah law and fatwa for a Muslim to consume or that has not been slaughtered in accordance with Shariah law and fatwa
        • Does not contain anything which is najs (impure) according to Shariah law and fatwa
        • Is safe and not harmful
        • Does not intoxicate according to Shariah Law and fatwa
        • Does not contain any part of a human being or its yield which are not allowed by Shariah law and fatwa
        • Is not poisonous or hazardous to health
        • Has not been prepared, processed, or manufactured using any instrument that is contaminated with najs (impurity) according to Shariah law and fatwa
        • Has not in the course of preparing, processing, or storing been in contact with mixed, or in close proximity to any food that fails to satisfy items (a) and (b)
