made lawful unless legislation. Allah says:
Mereka bertanya kepadamu (Wahai Muhammad):
"Apakah (makanan) yang dihalalkan bagi
mereka?" Katakanlah: "Dihalalkan bagi kamu
(memakan) yang lazat-lazat serta baik…..
(Surah al-Maidah, 5:4)

5.  Ethics deals with those standards that
prescribe what man out to do.
 It also addresses virtues, duties and attitudes
of the individual and the society.
 In addition, ethics is related to customs,
traditions as well as beliefs and worldviews.
 Notably, there are other fields, such as law,
human feeling and culture, which address the
same subjects that ethics address. (Hashi,
2011).

6.  Social institutions provide enforcement,
socialization and incentives (Possumah et al.,
2012) that influence individuals and
organizations to adhere to ethical standards in
their business activities.
 To contribute to the advancements of business
ethics theory and practice, academic research
need to focus on the effectiveness of current
social institutions and mechanisms in applying
business ethics and on how they can be
improved. (Muatasim Ismaeel, 2012)

approach to ethical consumerism.

8. Current issue
 Halal foods: An Islamic approach to ethical consumerism
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/altmuslim/2011/06/an_islamic_approach_to_ethical_consumerism/
Problem statement
 The Islamic approach to ethical consumerism in the production
of halal foods.
 For Muslims in Malaysia who share a country with non-Muslims
should be more sensitive and able to pick according to Islamic
halal food.
 Non-Muslims in Malaysia should explained in detail the concept
of halal-haram food from the perspective of the true Islam.
 Community will need to change the notion of non-Muslims that
the food is not halal food of pork, but also covers a variety of
other concepts that need described in more detail.

9.  Islamic business ethics:While the mechanisms
and tools of Islamic business ethics application
change over time, the underlying concepts of
Islamic ethical system are constant since they
were derived from a transcendental source
 (i.e. revelation from Allah (the God)).
 When trying to develop its application, Islamic
business ethics need to remain congruent with
its fundamental concepts. (Muatasim Ismaeel,
2012)

10.  As a Muslim who adheres to the teachings of
Islam to be aware and take care of nutritional
consumption.
 Humans need to ensure that each food and
drink taken are from legitimate sources and
prepared in the manner prescribed by
Shariah. (Yasin, 2011)

11.  Islam offers an ethical system which is
unique. In Islam, ethics and religion are
rooted to primordial human nature which is
innocent and good unless is corrupted.
 Similarly, ethics, religion and law (fiqh) are
complementary and do not contradict to
each other.
 In this case, what is morally wrong is also
illegal, and the law permits only what is
moral. (Hashi, 2011)

12.  Expenses allowed - human needs and wants
 According to Islam, we must expense in right
way as has been ordered by Allah S.W.T.
Therefore, spending goals for the Islamic
perspective can be summarized into two
purposes as stated by al – Qardhawi (Dr.
Yusuf al Qaradhawi : 1998) that are
I. Spend in Allah's way.
II. Spend for yourself and family.

13.  Islam & Waste
 Level Requirement
 Level requirement in Islam begins with
Dharuriyyah (basic), Hajiyyah (needs) and
Tahsiniyyah (complementary)
 Dharuriyyah refers to basic human needs .
Without which no man can live well in order to
achieve happiness secular and religious .
Requirements included in this story is religion,
life, intellect, lineage and property .

14.  Hajiyyah refers to the human need to
remove difficulties . It facilitate human
relations (mu’amalah) .
 Tahsiniyyah refers to all forms of transport
more intended to provide comfort and meet
the needs that are not desperate . It acts as
a complement to the existing requirements

15.  Moderation in spending - extravagance is
spending on illegal goods even small.
Moderation between two extremes of
miserliness and extravagance has been
recommended by Islam as golden mean.
 MISERLINESS
 Miser is one who does not spend on himself
and his family according to his means, and
also he does not spend on any charitable
purpose.

16.  EXTRAVAGANCE
Extravagance, according to a Muslim scholar,
means firstly spending wealth on unlawful
things, such as gambling, drinking,
prostitution etc., even if the amount involved
is insignificant; secondly excessive
expenditure on lawful things, whether within
or beyond one’s means; thirdly expenditure
for good and charitable purposes merely for
show.

17.  The properties of noble users - use the principles
halal and haram
 According of Islam, in terms of the use of a product
should be clean and well-established concept.
 So it is important to the consumers make sure
follow the rules that already described in Al-Quran
and Sunnah.
 Firman Allah s.w.t :
 “Wahai sekalian manusia! Makanlah sebahagian dari
makanan yang ada di bumi ini, yang halal dan baik,
dan janganlah kamu menuruti jejak langkah syaitan,
sesungguhnya itu adalah musuh kamu yang nyata”.
 (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:168)

18.  Expenses Allowed
 Human wants is various from each other.There are
many types of human wants, such as unlimited wants,
wants that can be fulfilled, complementary wants and
also competing wants. Islam encourages the use of a
minimal level so far in order to regulate and restrain
our passions and not excessive. :
 “Dan juga mereka (yang diredhai Allah itu ialah) yang
apabila membelanjakan hartanya, tiadalah melampaui
batas dan tiada bakhil kedekut; dan (sebaliknya)
perbelanjaan mereka adalah betul sederhana di antara
kedua-dua cara (boros dan bakhil) itu”.
 (Surah al Furqan, 25 : 67)

19.  Level requirement
 in Islam begins with Dharuriyyah (basic),
Hajiyyah (needs) andTahsiniyyah
(complementary)
 All three floors of this requirement should be
used as a guide by the Islamic consumer
spending.The decision to buy a product / service
shall be made in accordance with the priorities
should be based on their true needs level and on
the level of self-sufficiency , not by desires
alone.

20.  IMPORTANCE OF MODERATION:
 Beauty of Life
 Freedom from Avarice
 Freedom from Extravagance
 Stability of the Economy

21.  The properties of noble user
 Use the principles halal and haram.
 Safety first
 Follow level of needs
 Choose the quality’s products or services

22.  From Perspective of Individual
1) Increase the level of faith
2) Change the attitude of individual -
 From Perspective of Government
1)Take note about using principle Halal
2)Take note about logo Halal
 From Perspective of Mass Media
1) Give a lot of information about Halal
2) Not misused of mass media

23.  Halal foods: An Islamic approach to ethical
consumerism
 June 8, 2011 By zahedamanullah
 Until recently, halal foods were defined only by ritual
slaughter and mass-market production. But today’s
ethical consumer trends are making the industry take a
second look at what halal really means.
 Ask any number of Muslims about the meaning of halal
(when it comes to food) and you’re likely to get as many
answers as there are cuisines.While the methods and
conditions under which halal meat was prepared were
relatively uncontroversial or unchallenged a generation
ago, increasing consumer awareness has resulted in a
demand for greater transparency in standards and
production.
