 What is ‘Halal’?
Halal is an Arabic word that translates to "permissible or
lawful" into English.
Halal = permissible
Haram = forbidden

The term halal has come to be associated with Islamic dietary

laws, and especially meat processed and prepared in
accordance with those requirements.

27 April 2020
 What is Haram?
A variety of substances are considered as haram for humans
to consume and, therefore, forbidden as per various
Quranic verses –
• Alcohol
• Animal dying of itself
• Blood and its by products
• Pork - meat of Pig/swine
• Any meat not slaughtered according to Islamic tradition

27 April 2020

 Halal Certification
‘Halal-certified' refers to products which have been endorsed
as Halal by a credible Islamic body (third-party certification).

Often times, Halal certification involves a series of steps

including ingredient verification, inspection/audit and
approval by committee.

Halal Certification is provided by a dozen Halal Certification
Bodies in India.
 Halal India Private Limited
 Halal Certification Services India Private Limited
 Jamiat Ulama-E-Maharashtra – a State unit of Jamiat Ulama-
E-Hind
 Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Halal Trust

Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, are also halal certified.
Frequently, these products contain animal by-products.

• Alcohol is present in perfumes

• Pig fat is present in lipsticks and lip balms.
• Makeup products actively contain the by-products of
animals like cow, goats, pigs, chickens and turkeys etc.

According to a report
by Grand View Research,
the global halal
cosmetics market was
valued at 16.32 billion
USD in 2015 and it's
expected to reach 52.02
billion USD by 2025.

 Why do non-meat based companies get Halal
certificate?
Islam has 1.8 billion adherents, making up about 24.1% of the
world population.
In most Islamic countries, food needs to be Halal certified.

 Economics of Halal
The halal food market now makes up about 19% of the global
food market.

From food to health care and everything in between, it is

becoming a lifestyle choice in many nations.

The global halal industry is estimated to be worth around USD

2.3 trillion (and growing at a good pace).

 Halal Tourism
Halal tourism is a subcategory of tourism which is geared
towards Muslim families who abide by rules of Islam.

The hotels in such destinations do not serve alcohol, serve halal

certified food in their restaurants and may even have
separate swimming pools and spa facilities for men and
women.

 Issues with Halal certification
 Increased costs for certification and maintaining processes
deemed necessary to keep the standards.

 Employment opportunities in certain sectors are completely

unavailable to non-Muslims (Ex – Halal Slaughterhouse).

 It is a discriminatory business model towards people of

other faiths.
27 April 2020
Another challenge faced by companies and countries in the
halal industry is the lack of standardisation in the halal
certification process.

A halal certification from one country may not be recognised

in another.
