“…Rosenberg and Choufany (2009) recommend focusing on the design of the room, namely, to remove paintings and statues depicting human faces and allocate allowance of prayer space in the hotel room. Othman et al (2015) suggest geometric and non-figurative patterns of decoration in hotel rooms. Scholars also emphasize the importance of providing safety and security for guests (Othman et al, 2015;Saifuddin et al, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify Halal hotel attributes demanded by the Russian Muslim travelers. Following this, the study aims to investigate whether gender and types of travelers influence the demand for Halal hotel attributes. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted to localize the list of Halal hotel attributes for the Russian business context. A self-administrated online questionnaire was designed, distributed and collected from 191 Russian Muslim customers, who have stayed at Halal hotels in the past 12 months. Data analysis includes a t-test and analysis of variance. Findings The study revealed a list of Halal attributes demanded by Russian Muslim customers. Also, the findings indicate that the list of the attributes demonstrated the differences in the requested attributes between gender and types of travelers. Research limitations/implications The study came across three main limitations. The first was that the respondents surveyed were leisure tourists. Second, the majority of the respondents have university degrees. Third, the research sample is limited to approximately 200 respondents. This research primarily contributes to tourism and hospitality management, and consumer behavior literature, as this is the first study yielding insights on a new demographic: Russian Muslim tourists. Practical implications The study provides a clear understanding of the Halal hotel attributes demanded by Russian Muslims that can help hotel managers to accommodate the needs of this group while, at the same time, meeting the requirements of guests of different religions. Social implications The study contributes to improving social relationships within the Russian Federation as it improves society’s understanding of the life principles of Muslims. Originality/value This is the first study investigating the demand for Halal attributes by Russian Muslim tourists. By partly covering the empty research field on this topic, the study provides meaningful direction to future research of the Russian hotels’ Halal services from both supply and demand perspectives.

This study examines challenges faced by Halal auditors in Malaysia, focusing on their vital role in ensuring compliance with Halal standards in organisations. Using qualitative content analysis (QCA) and structured interviews, this study investigates issues including management, human factors, process complexities, and technology gaps. This research fills a critical gap by exploring the challenges internal Halal auditors encounter within their own companies, given their essential role in maintaining Halal certification integrity. Key findings highlight the absence of digital tools for managing Halal audit checklists and reports, leading to prolonged audits. Delays in checklist preparation, often due to inexperienced auditors, and time-consuming report generation were also noted. Incomplete documentation practices and a lack of structured filing systems compound these issues, affecting audit efficiency and alignment with Halal standards. To address these challenges, this study recommends implementing a digital Halal audit application to enhance efficiency, encourage accurate documentation, and maximise technology utilisation. Embracing digitalisation and tailored interventions can collectively strengthen Halal certification integrity, benefiting Muslim consumers and the industry.

“…Prominent scholars, such as Noordin et al (2014), have advocated for technology modernisation in Halal auditing. Othman et al (2015) proposed a standardised audit checklist for Shariah practice, while Reed et al (2016) put forth innovative strategies for successful Halal audits, supported by Nordin et al (2022), who emphasised the benefits of the automation application system.…”

Integrating digital technology into internal halal audits through the Digital Halal Audit App (DHAA) can enhance efficiency and value. DHAA assists Internal Halal Auditors (IHAs) in various audit tasks, fostering compliance and automation. This transformation of halal audits introduces automation, policy adherence, and operational assurance to management. However, discussions around DHAA acceptance within internal audits have been limited, particularly regarding factors influencing IHAs' acceptance. To bridge this gap, the research instrument for this study integrates the Task-Technology Fit (TTF), Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), and religiosity factors. The study gathered perceptions from 30 Internal Halal Auditors representing companies listed in Malaysia's halal directory. Quantitative analysis using SPSS tools validated and supported the proposed model. This confirmatory study systematically achieved its objectives. It evaluated survey question clarity, assessed instrument validity and reliability, and refined the questionnaire. Through thorough analysis and participant feedback, this study aimed to validate the suitability of the proposed framework for evaluating DHAA acceptance among IHAs, contributing to a deeper understanding of technology integration within the context of internal halal audits.
