Abstract

This article examines the plurality of fatwa authorities in determining product halalness in Indonesia and its implications for the Halal Product Assurance (JPH) ecosystem. Using a comparative juridical-empirical approach, the study identifies the sources of plurality (interactions between the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), the Halal Product Fatwa Committee (BPJPH), and implementing regulations), analyzes its impact on legal certainty and consumer protection, and compares institutional alternatives from Malaysia (the centralized model/JAKIM) and international standard practice (SMIIC). Findings indicate that plurality without a harmonization mechanism creates informational confusion, risks fragmentation of technical standards, and potential erosion of the legitimacy of halal certification; therefore, a formal coordination protocol, an integrated fatwa registry, a fatwa dispute resolution mechanism, and strengthening of technical accreditation are needed.

Abstract

The mandatory labeling of non-halal products is a crucial element of the Halal Product Assurance system in Indonesia as stipulated in Law Number 33 of 2014. This study highlights normative, technical, and consumer protection aspects, including the inclusion of the “non-halal” statement on packaging, material color indicators, and the basis of sharia legitimacy through Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) principles. Using a qualitative approach, using analysis of legal documents, academic literature, and comparative studies with countries such as Malaysia and Turkey, this study found that non-halal labeling increases legal certainty, transparency, and consumer trust while reducing the risk of misleading claims. This study recommends strengthening fatwa registration, harmonizing procedures, and improving LPH accreditation to strengthen the credibility and efficiency of the JPH system in Indonesia
