“…Halal certification is the responsibility of business actors in manufacturing their product (Afifi et al, 2014). According to Nasution and Rossanty (2018), the country origin of halal certification influences consumers' intention to purchase imported food.…”

The objective of this paper is to analyse the role of halal awareness, employing variables that can be both influential (determinant) and influenced (output). The study examines two perspectives, namely those from consumers and business actors. From a consumer perspective, this relates to the influence of halal awareness on the intention to purchase a halal product. Meanwhile, from the perspective of business actors, it considers how halal awareness affects the halal traceability of products. Halal traceability is also analysed from the consumers’ perspective as a moderating variable in the relationship between halal awareness and consumer purchase intentions. Questionnaires were distributed online and data were collected from 176 consumers and 95 entrepreneurs. SEM-PLS was then applied to analyse the data. The results show that halal awareness influences the consumers’ purchase intention and the halal traceability of the business actors. While the consumers’ halal awareness was determined by knowledge and halal certification. In contrast, religiosity has an insignificant influence on the consumers’ halal awareness. Meanwhile, the halal awareness of the business actors was influenced by knowledge, halal certification and religiosity. Halal traceability failed to moderate the relationship between halal awareness and consumer purchase intentions.

“…In their normal practice, many retailers are found to sell the non-Halal groceries where partitions are hardly initiated and suggestions for product detachments are not much respected. For an instance, Halim et al (2014) reported that out of 96 hotels and restaurants being checked by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) 50 premises were found to be Halal non-compliant. In another example, Majlis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) stated that many food products in the Indonesian market have failed to pass official Halal certification.…”

Purpose -Muslim consumers' tendency to patronize stores with Halal images and purchase genuine Halal products is closely related to their effort to maintain Islamic identity, and this is further supported by many empirical data. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the relationships between attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and Halal principle knowledge and their effect on Muslim consumers' behavioral intention to patronize retail stores. On top of that, the mediating effect of Halal image on these relationships is also investigated.Design/methodology/approach -Data were analyzed using multiple and hierarchical regression analysis to test the model via the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software among 480 valid samples of Muslim consumers.Findings -Empirical results of the hierarchical regression analysis and the Sobel test revealed that there is a significant mediating effect of Halal image on the relationship between consumers' attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control of consumers' behavioral intention to patronize retail stores. Consumers with high attentiveness of the stores' Halal image have a positive impression of the stores, a high motivation to patronize and, without any conditions, may follow through their intention to patronize the retail stores.Practical implications -This research study offers guidelines to the retailers, marketers and the authorities in enhancing marketing strategies and the implementation of stricter Halal consumption laws. Hence, this research puts forward the following strategies: adopting Halal marketing strategy, promoting Halal images in retail stores and reinforcing Halal principle knowledge in the mind of consumers.Originality/value -The main theoretical contribution relates to the insertion of the Halal image as a mediating variable in the matter of Muslim consumers' behavioral intention to patronize Halal stores in Malaysia. An inspection of the effect of Halal principle knowledge on Muslim consumers' behavioral intention to patronize retail stores is also rewarding.

“…Although halal is a highly potent market of the future, it has not been fully explored. This is supported by the growing number of members of the Muslim community, which is estimated at around 2 billion at the end of the second decade of the 21st century, with the current estimated value of halal market over 2.5 billion dollars (Halim et al, 2014). Due to its recognisability as an alternative benchmark for safety, hygiene and quality assurance of beverages and food, the concept of "halal" is represented in discussions around the world.…”

Providing halal products is one of the key factors in the lives of members of the Islamic faith. The physical and economic availability of halal food has an important place in the decision-making process about the movements of Muslim tourists. Currently, the Halal market is rapidly expanding, contributing to an increase in the number of the Muslim population and their travels. The main goal is to analyse the satisfaction of halal restaurant guests expressed through online numerical ratings. Authors used automated techniques for collecting guests' ratings. Restaurants that were analysed were chosen by selecting the criteria "halal" on TripAdvisor. Information about the origin of reviewers and gender are also collected. The paper also tries to answer the question whether the origin of guests and type of halal restaurants have an influence on their satisfaction with services in selected facilities. The results indicated the presence of significant differences in guest's satisfaction among different types of restaurants. One of the possible limitations of this research is an insufficient number of evaluating criteria for expressing a satisfaction which are available on TripAdvisor for analysis that is more precise.
