Abstract
Halal is a term that is frequently used in both Muslim and non-Muslim nations. A growing demand for Halal goods and services together with instances of fraudulent or incorrect claims regarding the adherence to Halal standards has increased consumers’ ethical and religious concerns. The Halal sector is faced with innumerable problems, both domestically and internationally, which are mostly related to the misuse of the Halal stamp and other offences related to the Halal logo. Consumers are generally becoming increasingly aware of the Halal logo and information regarding the Halal status of a product’s ingredients before making a purchase. This qualitative study intended to identify the need for mediation when resolving Halal-related disputes from a consumer’s perspective. Information and data were sourced from statutes, articles, journals, newspapers, and magazines. Findings from the document analysis indicated that consumer expectations and producer education on Halal standards, procedures, and practices can all be accomplished through mediation. The ensuing awareness could aid in averting potential conflicts and raise general consumer satisfaction concerning the current degree of Halal abuse prevalent in the consumer market.
