ABSTRACT

Producers and consumers have differences and conflicting views regarding wants and

priorities of halal products. While consumers are concerned with the product itself, the

producers are more concerned with the benefit and fulfillment of applied standards.

Again, the researchers solved these issues by enhancing the legal framework for these

products to ensure the Shariah compliance of Halal in products of food,

pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic products. To achieve this, the researcher adopted

inductive and deductive research methodologies to ensure the Islamic and legal

injunction. He also adopted the analytical research method to investigate the standards

which are the Malaysian and the Islamic Fiqh Academy halal standards. Thirdly, the

researcher adopted the critical and applied research method to first detect the defects

of the standards and second to investigate the technical and application issues.

Different approaches were used to ensure the legal framework for halal products to

protect the rights of both producers and consumers. It was found that both standards

have shortcomings regarding the concept of Halal and Shariah compliance

concerning. Notwithstanding, the Malaysian standard is better. The research offered

several recommendations for improvement. Furthermore, the research attempted to

strengthen intellectual property rights and created new principles to ensure a better

framework for investment in halal products while safeguarding the substance of halal.

Furthermore, the study offered an in-depth investigation of Halal standards taking into

account the best international experiences for helping countries who intend to

establish Halal industry in general and Libya in particular.
