“…At the federal level in Malaysia, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) plays a key role in halal certification issues. JAKIM is assisted in its role as halal authority by a number of institutions, including the State Islamic Religious Department (Jabatan Agama Islam Negeri termed hereafter as JAIN) or State Islamic Religious Councils (Majlis Agama Islam Negeri hereafter termed as MAIN), other government departments such as the Ministry of Health as well as non-government organisations (NGO), halal centres, and local universities (Mohd Zabidey et al, 2017;Rokshana, 2017). Commonly, JAKIM and JAIN undertake the certification procedure in the same way and follow the same guidelines as the newest halal certification guideline which is Manual Procedure for Malaysia Halal Certification-Domestic (MPPHM) 2020.…”

“…Once the application has been approved, the halal certification applicant will be given a Halal Certificate and a Halal Logo. After the applicant or Halal Certificate holder receives the certificate, they will be supervised by halal certification bodies that are subject to specified categories, methods, and conditions to guarantee that they always fulfil the certification requirements and standards (Mohd Zabidey et al, 2017;JAKIM, 2020).…”

Since the Muslim population has increased around the world, they are more concerned about halal awareness. Therefore, there are a lot of emerging halal industries nowadays, and among them is halal pharmaceuticals. However, with the advancement of technology, gelatin-based products have been widely developed and are being used in the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, its halal status can be questionable (mashbooh). Hence, this paper is aimed to study the Islamic perspective on gelatin-based products in pharmaceuticals. The study uses a qualitative method which involves a literature review from al-Quran, as-Sunnah, articles, journals, and some other references from the internet that can be trusted as data sources. Apart from that, the methodology of this study is by researching the istihalah method and fatwa in Malaysia to determine the halal status of gelatin in pharmaceutical products. Besides, this paper also focuses on the Malaysian Standard of Halal Pharmaceuticals- General Requirements (MS 2424:2019) and Malaysian Halal Certification Procedure Manual- Domestic 2020 (MPPHM 2020). The finding of this study shows that gelatin mostly comes from animal sources. Therefore, its halal status can be questionable even if it comes from permitted animals such as cows or chickens. This is because the animals are considered halal if they were slaughtered according to Islamic law only. Hence, to avoid religious concerns, there is a lot of research on the alternatives to animal gelatin such as from marine sources and plant-based sources. From the Islamic perspective, the use of gelatin from marine sources and animals that have been slaughtered according to Islamic rules is halal. However, gelatin sources from pork and its derivatives are still haram after going istihalah because its chemical substances remain the same and unchanged even after istihalah. Nevertheless, during an emergency, it is permissible to consume it accordingly if there is no replacement or alternative for pork gelatin even if it is from haram sources.

This study sought to map out the institutions and processes of halal certification in Indonesia and Malaysia by investigating the history, procedures, challenges, and opportunities. Data were gathered through interviews with those working in halal certifying related institutions, such as MUI and BPJPH in Indonesia, and JAKIM in Malaysia, in addition to several halal auditors from universities in both countries. A close reading of primary documents issued by halal certification institutions and secondary documents, academic articles, and online resources was conducted to better understand the issues at hand. The results suggest that while historically halal certification in Indonesia and Malaysia came from two different trajectories, the two finally converged in acknowledging the important role of the state and government in terms of Muslim consumer protection in relation to their halal needs. Nonetheless, their differing evolutionary paths, which was partly the function of the relative status of Islam in both, had eventually shaped the character of their halal certification. Originating from an organic civil society movement, halal certification in Indonesia traversed through a more stable and culturally consolidated process, while in Malaysia, it took the political highway with its attendant ups and downs. If Indonesia managed to create "umbrella halal law" overseeing other lesser provisions, Malaysia had to accept the fact that federation had some imprint on its vast array of dispersing halal provisions, if often compensated with some mending for improvement. Finally, the character and size of the population of each contributed to making Indonesia be more inwardlooking and Malaysia outward-looking in their halal certification management.

The critical control points (CCP) are a vital component in product safety and control measures where the precautionary operation can be applied to reduce hazards in production. In halal certification (HC), it is significant to identify the CCP in order to confirm any products or services are halal. As a form of quality assurance system, HC which consists of several control measures used to emphasize the CCP from the Islamic point-of-view. However, it is a complex system and there are issues that require some action of improvement. If not handled properly, the key HC process such as Halal Inspection (HI) can lead to the operational inefficiency of the system. Therefore, the existing inspection method needs to adapt to the current situation and its operation must be improved. This article attempts to highlight the CCP of HI by focusing on the inspection process for small and medium-sized food premises conducted in Malaysia. This exploratory research is carried out qualitatively through several interviews with experts in HC field and observations on HI process at 10 food premises. The Work System Framework (WSF) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) framework are used as the basis for this research. The outcomes uncovered numerous requirements for the HI process which will be a vital component that can be used to empower the existing HC system. In this context, the benefit of modern technological advancement such as virtual technology can effectively be utilized to expand the effectiveness of the HC system, mainly in the HI process.
