The rapid expansion of the halal industry and its markets has occurred not only in the heavily Islamic regions of Southeast Asia and the Middle East, but also in more unexpected countries such as Turkey, Japan, and South Korea, plus many others around the world. Yet despite both the increasing number of practicing Muslims and the demand for halal products worldwide, a base of scholarship on the subject has never emerged. The industry has been more market driven rather than knowledge driven. As such, industry operators have frequently drawn attention to the absence of such an authoritative text, one that would elucidate the shariah credibly of halal as well as its market presence.

Mohammad Hashim Kamali's Shariah and the Halal Industry is designed to fill this gap. The first of its kind in the English language, the book is written in an accessible and reader-friendly style by a world-renowned authority on Islamic law and jurisprudence. The book serves as a reference on the shariah foundations of halal and meets the needs not only of industry operators and decision-makers, but also of students, scholars of Islam, and the many practicing Muslims who are customers of the halal industry across the globe. The book can also serve to educate the general public and non-specialist readers on Islam and shariah law at-large.

Reviews for Shariah and the Halal Industry

Throughout this valuable book, the focus on applying shariah over and above the priority given to the market is a welcome and worthwhile distraction. * John Lever, Taylor & Francis Online * This highly original book is a must read for anyone interested in Islam and the halal industry. Scholarly yet accessible to the general audience, this is an authoritative book that will guide the halal industry for years to come. The book demonstrates the breadth of Kamali's skills in interpreting and contextualising complex Islamic jurisprudential issues. Highly relevant and practical. * Mohammad Abdalla, Director Centre for Islamic Thought and Education, University of South Australia * Coming from the pen of a respected Shari'ah scholar, this book offers a comprehensive look at Islamic foundations of halal industry, filling a significant void in the literature. Arranged in three partsDLShari'ah perspectives, the halal industry in Malaysia, and the international development of the halal marketDLthe book responds to the needs of halal market practitioners, researchers in Islamic law, and practicing Muslims. * Professor Tahir Mahmood, Distinguished Jurist Chair in Law, Amity University, India * This book masterfully links the wide-ranging debates on halal today to the sources of shariah and relevant areas of Islamic legal thought. Although the book is primarily aimed at a general readership and at finding practical solutions, it maintains the required scholarly rigor throughout while keeping a close eye on the accessibility of the material presented. For anyone interested in understanding and engaging with the rapidly expanding halal products and industries around the world, this book will function as an invaluable and practical resource that is grounded in solid Islamic scholarship. * Abdullah Saeed, Sultan of Oman Professor of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Melbourne * Throughout this valuable book, the focus on applying shariah over and above the priority given to the market is a welcome and worthwhile distraction. It will undoubtedly serve as a valuable resource for those wishing to navigate the global market, but in an age of market fundamentalism, it will also pose as many questions as it answers. Even so, it provides important foundations on which the halal industry's contribution to wider global debates can be assessed and taken forward. * John Lever, Politics, Religion & Ideology *
