In the halal food supply chain, animal feed is an essential element which has direct implication for the safety, quality and halal integrity of animal-based food products. Comprehensive monitoring and control in the preparation, production, storage, and distribution of the animal feed are needed to ensure acceptable quality standard. Matters related to the importation, manufacture, sale and uses of feed and feed additive in Malaysia is regulated under the Feed Act 2009 and its regulations. This Act is introduced to ensure the quality and safety of feed by controlling the importation, manufacture, sale, and uses of feed and feed additive. In the context of animal feed in Malaysia, this paper seeks to highlight and examine its legal framework, focusing on the analysis of the Feed Act 2009. This study utilises qualitative approach using library research. The findings of the study demonstrate that, despite the existence of a specific law governing the animal feed activities, there is no provision addresses the issue of halal in the ingredients, preparation, production, storage, and distribution of animal feed. It is therefore suggested that a halal standard for animal feed preparation, production, storage, and distribution is further be developed to enhance the production of halal and safe animal feed in Malaysia.
Waqf issues have been widely discussed in various kitabs of traditional fiqh turath and contemporary fiqh mu'asarah. Both are common sources of references for waqf scholars and researchers. Waqf discussions are commonly focused on its fiqhi definitions, evidences, scope and flexibility in implementation and further development of waqf in contemporary situations. A less uncommon focus of waqf discourse is on major fiqh al-hadith collections that inform the waqf rulings and their significant contributions in guiding and clarifying waqf matters. Imam al-Bukhari`s Sahih al-Bukhari is a magnum opus of hadiths collections that have been oftentimes referred in waqf discourse. Imam al-Bukhari`s al-Jami' al-Sahih al-Musnad min Hadithi Rasulullah wa Sunanih wa Ayyamih, or al-Jami' al-Sahih, or commonly known as Sahih al-Bukhari is evident of his fiqh ijtihad that transcends his lifetime until the present.

The coronavirus pandemic or the COVID-19 virus that hit the whole country has had a great impact, especially the economic aspect. The COVID-19 virus is very dangerous and can infect humans to the point that it can cause death. The Malaysian government acted by implementing the Movement Control Order (MCO), a comprehensive ban on all Malaysian travel abroad and the entry of foreign tourists into the country. The closure of all educational institutions including primary, secondary, pre-university, and other educational institutions. The implementation of the MCO caused the collapse of the national economy. The loss experienced by the country of as much as 2.4 billion per day during the MCO period has a great impact on the people's economy. People are affected by their source of income and lose their jobs as a result of the implementation of the MCO. The number of those whose income has been affected and who have lost their jobs continues to increase, leading to an increase in the poor asnaf. This study aims to explain the meaning and concept of asnaf 'temporarily poor'. To achieve the objective, this study uses two research methods, namely library research and field research for data collection. This study will explain the parameters for determining the 'temporary poor' asnaf of the COVID-19 pandemic situation. The results of this research can be used as a reference and guide for the administration and management of zakat in Malaysia.
