This study focuses on fatwas related to halal product issues issued by both institutions. The objective is to assess and analyze the level of acceptance by the State Fatwa Committees of the legal opinions on halal products decided by JMMKI. In addition, the study examines the factors contributing to the similarities and differences in fatwa decisions as well as the extent of coordination between the two institutions. A qualitative approach is employed to analyze selected fatwa decisions in order to uncover patterns of conformity or divergence between the two bodies. The findings of this study are expected to provide a deeper understanding of the halal fatwa decision-making process and to explain how the roles and cooperation between these institutionsinfluence the understanding and implementation of halal rulings within the Malaysian Muslim society. In line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1: No Poverty, this study also emphasizes the importance of harmonizing halal fatwas in ensuring the economic well-being of the Muslim community, protecting the rights of Muslim consumers, and strengthening confidence in the halal market, which contributes to income growth and economic opportunities for the society at largemsMuzakarah Committee of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI)halal productsfatwa harmonizationfatwaJawatankuasa Muzakarah MKIproduk halalpenyelarasan fatwaPenerimaan Jawatankuasa Fatwa Negeri Terhadap Keputusan Hukum Produk Halal Oleh Muzakarah Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Hal Ehwal Agama Islam (mki)The Acceptance Of State Fatwa Committees Towards Halal Product Rulings Issued By The Muzakarah Of The National Council For Islamic Religious Affairs (Mki)text::journal::journal article193421
