Abstract

Co-movement of integrated stock market is causing economic shocks and global crises. A typical example of this crisis was the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022, which impacted the stock market. Therefore, this research aimed to examine the development, integration, and response of the five Islamic stock market in Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries during the Russia-Ukraine war. Vector Autoregressive/Vector Error Correction Model (VAR/VECM) was used to analyze DJIMMT25, SPSADS, SPSUUAEDS, JII, DJIMT, SPBMIR, and SPBMIU indices. The results showed that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia stock market had the same movement, while Turkey experienced a positive trend during the war. The Islamic stock market was also cointegrated but Malaysia influenced the other four OIC countries. Meanwhile, IRF reported a permanent effect on the volatility of the market due to the shocks experienced. The volatility response was relatively small since the stock market dominated the contribution of shocks.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are obtaining halal certification through self-declared halal certification. The utilization has not reached the maximum potential even though this form of certification is available in Indonesia. Out of 349,834 free halal self-declared certification offered by the government, only 119,662 have been used (BPJPH 2022). Despite the benefits, there are several issues related to the implementation. Only a small percentage of MSMEs have obtained halal certification in developing a strategy to address the issue. Therefore, this research aimed to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) associated with self-declared halal certification as well as propose strategy to increase the use from a stakeholder perspective. SWOT analysis was used to evaluate the potential development strategies of self-declared stakeholders, such as Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), Halal Product Process (PPH) Assistants, and Halal Product Guarantee Organization (BPJPH). Meanwhile, Analytic Network Process (ANP) method prioritized the four aspects and determined the best strategy for developing halal self-declaration policies. An assertive strategy providing fair information dissemination and optimizing support for PPH assistants was needed to address the issue of low self-declared certification. Based on this research, the government provided a reasonable honorarium for PPH assistants. BPJPH used AI and blockchain technologies to expedite the document collection process for MSMEs and PPH assistants. Additionally, PPH adopted more proactive and creative methods for assistance.

Abstract

Blood from the slaughter of cattle and chicken, is an economically valuable waste that can not be disposed into the environment. Its application in animal feed requires careful consideration of the composition and potential impact. The Indonesian Ulema Council issued a Fatwa regarding the Law on Livestock Animals Fed with Unclean Items. From a Sharia perspective, the feed composition is crucial, since it needs to be free from unclean ingredients to prevent animals from becoming classified as Al-Jallalah (Livestock Animals Fed with Unclean Items). To ensure compliance with the religious guidelines, it is necessary to implement a quarantine (Al-Istibra) or purification period (Istihalah). Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the halalan thayyiban supply chain in the management of blood from slaughtering ruminants (cattle), poultry (chicken), and pig for feed. Implementation of good practices in managing blood from slaughterhouses was assessed. The suitability of feed labels, including the presence of prohibited ingredients, adherence to good practices, and the application of Al-Istibra or Istihalah in cattle and chicken farms, as well as catfish farming units, was evaluated through questionnaire interviews and conformity scores. The results showed that 2 out of 7 (seven) objects received lower scores due to the limited effectiveness of the Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and unclear regulations regarding the use of blood. Based on the suitability value of the feed label, 1 (one) out of 8 (eight) objects received a lower score for failing to meet technical requirements. The feed was contaminated, and there were no operational procedures for implementing Al-Istibra or Istihalah.

Abstract

The rising demand for halal products, especially within the cosmetics industry, has increased the need for cosmetic products to comply with Islamic laws. One of the challenges in achieving halal certification is the determination of the source of the active ingredients used in cosmetic products, such as enzymes. According to Islamic laws, enzymes derived from pigs or other animals that are not slaughtered are not considered halal. To ensure that the enzymes used in cosmetics are derived from halal sources, it is necessary to use enzymes generated from microorganisms through fermentation, provided that the raw materials and growth medium comply with Islamic laws. Additionally, halal cosmetics must meet regional and international standards, including the Indonesian Ulema Council’s Fatwa and the Malaysian Cosmetic and Personal Care Standards. This research provides a comprehensive review of the role of enzymes in selecting halal compliance cosmetic ingredients, focusing on the source of enzymes as a means of assessing the halalness of cosmetic products. It is essential to utilize halal enzymes such as those derived from plants to provide Muslim consumers with assurance when using cosmetic products.
