HALAL GUIDELINES
A. Preface
In this part principle of halal and haram in Al Qur’an and Fatwa from MUI will be
described.
Sources of Islamic Law:

1. Al Qur’an. It is The Holly Book of Islam. It contains philosophy, principles, and
theories of Islamic laws which are work of Allah for the guidance of mankind. It
mainly prescribes permanent, absolute, values and basic principles of Islamic laws.
2. Al-Hadist. It is the authentic practice of Prophet Muhammad (the saying, actions,
habits, and approvals) that explain in detail the application of the Qur’anic
principles.
3. Ijma Shahabat. It is the consensus of the opinion of the shahabat (companions of
the prophet Muhammad based on their understanding of The Al Qur’an and Al
Hadits).
4. Qiyas. It is a law making method by comparing thing with cases already explained
in Al Qur’an and Al Hadits.
5. Fatwa. It is Islamic legal opinion about law status of a certain case made by Ulama
(Islamic Scholars).
B. Meaning Of Halal Haram
1. Halal means lawful. In the case of food, most are halal except for some that are
explicity mentioned in the Al Qur’an or Hadits.
2. Haram is something prohibited by God Almighty. People who deliberately ignore
what is not allowed will face God’s punishment in the life hereafter. Some even
face Islamic law sanctions in life.

36
LPPOM - MUI
Appendix 5. (continued)
C. Principles On Halal And Haram Status
1. Everything is halal unless explicitly forbidden

2. Only Allah has the right to legislate for man
3. Prohibiting halal and permitting haram is unlawful
4. Haram is always associated with what is bad and harmful
5. There is always a better substitute in halal for that which is haram
6. Anything that leads to haram is considered haram
7. It is haram to declare something halal when it is manifestly haram
8. Good intensions do not justify committing haram
9. One should guard oneself against matters that are on the borderline between halal
and haram
10. In extreme circumstances, haram is permissible within certain limits.
D. Halal And Haram in Al Qur’an
1. Al - Baqarah 168 : “ O ye people !Eat of what is on earth. Lawful and good; and do
not follow the footsteps of the evil one for he is to you and avowed enemy.
2. Al Baqarah 172-173 : “O ye who believe ! Eat of the good things that we have
provided for you and grateful to Allah, If it is Him ye worship. He hath only
forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that on which any
other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah.
3. Al-Anam 145 : “ Say : I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any
(meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat,
or blood puored forth, or the flesh of swine ---for it is a abomination – or what is
impious, (meat) on which a name has been invoked other than Allah. But (even
so), if a person is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience. Or
transgressing due limits---thy Lord is oft-forgiving, Most Merciful”.
4. AL-Maidah 3 : “Forbidden to you (for food) are : dead meat, blood, the flesh of
swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah. That
which hath been killed by strangling, or by violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by
being gored to death, that which hath been (party) eaten by a wild animal, unless

37
LPPOM - MUI
ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone(altars);
(forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety.
5. Al Maidah 90 – 91 : “ O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of )
stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination of satan’s plan is (but) to
excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder
you from remembrance of Allah, and from prayer; will ye not then abstain ? “.
6. Al Maidah 96 : “Lawful to you is the pursuit of water-game and its use for food—for
the benefit of yourselves and those who travel : but forbidden is the pursuit of land
game ---as long as ye are in the scared Precincts or in pilgrim garb. And fear Allah,
to whom ye shall be gathered back”.
7. Al A’raf 157 :”… he allows them lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibited them
what is bad (and impure) ….”
E. Fatwa (Islamic Legal Opinion) Of MUI For Materials And Production Process
(No. 4/2003)
1. Khamr
a. Anything that is intoxicating is considered as khamr (alcohol drink).
b. Drinks containing a minimum of 1 % ethanol is categorized as khamr
c. Drinks categorized as khamr is najis (filth)
d. Drinks those are produced through fermentation process containing less than
1 % ethanol is not categorized as khamr but is haram for consumption.
2. Ethanol
a. Ethanol produced by non khamr industry is not najis (pure)
b. Using of pure ethanol which is produced by non khamr industry is :
1. Mubah (allowed), if it is not detected in the finished product.
2. Haram (prohibited) if it is detected in the finished product.
c. Using of ethanol produced by khamr industry in food production is haram

38
LPPOM - MUI
3. By product of khamr industry

a. Fusel oil as by product of khamr industry is haram and najis.
b. Fusel oil which is not by product of khamr industry is halal and not najis.
c. Component that is physically separated from fusel oil as by product of khamr
industry is haram.
d. Component that is physically separated from fusel oil as by product of khamr
industry and than chemically reacted to be a new compound is halal.
d. Vinegar is halal.
e. Yeast separated from khamr and washed to remove taste, smell and colour
of khamr is halal.
4. Flavor Imitating Haram Product

Flavor using the name and having sensory profile of a haram product, like rhum
flavor, pork flavor, etc. could not be halal certified although ingredients used are
halal.
5. Microbial Product
a. Microbes which grow on and halal growth media are halal and which grow on
haram growth media are haram.
b. Microbial consumer products which use haram and najis materials on its
growth media in all production steps (refreshing scale, pilot plant scale and
production stage) are haram.
c. Consumer products containing microbial products which grow on non halall
media are haram
d. Consumer products containing microbial product must be traced back to
initial growth media of the microbes.
6. Use of Sharing Facility

a. Facility that has been used to produce product containing pork must be
cleansed seven times by water and once of them by dust or its substitute that
has similar cleaning power.

39
LPPOM - MUI
b. Facility must not be alternately used for producing pork and non pork
products.
F. Several Examples Of Critical Materials
1. Meat
Meat of halal animals could become haram if the animal is slaughtered not
according to the Islamic law. Critical points in slaughtering process are as follows.
i. Slaughter men must be devoted Muslims who daily practice the Islamic rites.
ii. Stunning process should not cause death of animal before slaughtered.
iii. Knife must be sharp.
iv. In the post slaughtering process, animal should be completely dead before
next process begins and blood should be completely drained.
Imported meat should be supported by following documents or conditions:
i. Halal certificate from a halal certification body approved by LPPOM MUI.
ii. Shipment and other supporting documents such as shipping documents,
health documents, etc.
iii. Halal Certificate should conform to other documents.
iv. The documents should conform to physical conditions, such as packaging
and label.
v. Document must have correct lot number, plant number, date of slaugtering,
etc.
2. Animal Derivatives.
Animal Derivatives are halal if they are derived from halal animals slaughtered
according to the Islamic law, not derived from blood and not contaminated by
haram (unlawful) and najis (impure) materials. Following are examples of animal
derivatives or materials that could be derived from animal derivatives:
i. Fat
ii. Protein
iii. Gelatin
iv. Collagen

by enzyme (example : cheese, whey, lactose, caseine/caseinate)
xx. Several vitamins (examples: A, B6, D, E)
xxi. Activated Carbon
xxii. Bristle
3. Vegetable Products
Materials derived from vegetable are basically halal but if processed with additives
and/or processing aids those are not halal, they become not halal. Therefore it is
necesarry to know the production process, the additives and the processing aid
used in the making of vegetable products. Following are examples of vegetable
materials that might have critical points:
i. Wheat flour could be enriched by vitamins, among them B1, B2 and pholate
acid.
ii. Oleoresin (Chili, spices, etc) may contain emulsifiers (examples:
polysorbate/tween & monoleat glycerol that might be derived from animals)
iii. Soybean lecithin could be produced by using phospholipase in the
production process to improve its function.

LPPOM - MUI
iv. Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP) could be produced by using enzyme in

hydrolysis process.
4. By products of Alcoholic Drink Industry and their Derivatives

By products of alcoholic drink industry and their derivatives are haram if they are
only physically separated from the product but if they are chemically reacted to be
a new compound they become halal. Example of by products of alcoholic drink
industry and their derivatives are:
i. Cognac oil (by product of cognact/brandy distillation)
ii. Fusel oil (by product of distilled beverages and their derivatives, such as
isoamyl, isobutyl and propyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, 2.3 butanadiol, acetone,
diacetyl, etc.)
iii. Brewer yeast (by-product of beer industry)
iv. Tartaric acid (by product of wine industry)
5. Microbial Product
Status of microbial product could be haram if it belongs to the following categories:
i. Alcoholic drinks (khamr) and their by products

peptone from haram source or produce by using enzyme from haram source.
iii. Microbial products using enymes of haram materials in their production
process.
iv. Microbial products using haram additives or processing aid in their production
process, such as antifoams derived from lard, glycerol or other similar
substances.
v. Microbial recombinants genes derived from haram materials. Examples are
as follows :
1) α-amilase enzymes and protease resulting from Saccharomyces
cereviceae recombinants with genes from animal tissues.
2) Insulin hormones resulting from E.coli recombinants and genes from pig
pancreas tissues.
3) Human growth hormones resulting from E. coli recombinants.
