OVERVIEW

Halal can be simply defined as permitted or lawful objects or actions according to Islamic principles. The term not only encompass food, drinks, also all matters in daily life. The opposite of Halal is Haram, which refers to objects and acts that are forbidden under Islamic principles.[1] The basic tenets of Halal are depicted in the Quran and other Islamic literature and jurisprudence. Although the definition of Halal and Haram is relatively black and white, it is a fundamental aspect of a Muslim’s life that must be obeyed. Consequently, Halal is considered as a way of life, a necessity for life, a lifestyle, and also a standard for living life as a Muslim.
