“…From fiqh perspectives, any innovation involving process of transforming najs materials into commercialized products will not be tolerable although in a small amount. This complies with qawaid fiqhiyyah (Islamic legal maxim) principle: 'when the lawful and unlawful things are mixed up, the unlawful prevails' (Isa and Man, 2014).…”

The process of intentionally adding animal plasma additive (APA) into surimi products is part of the polemic issues are getting attention among Muslim consumers. APA possesses good functional properties such as improving emulsifying capacity, alternative for fat, alternative for eggs besides functions as a cheap protein alternative. There are opinion regards transformation of animal plasma into commercial APA is part of the sustainable effort to minimize environmental problems as a result the non-systematic disposal of animal blood into land and water. Moreover, some of the minor group of scholars claimed the prohibition attributes to spilled-out blood not the plasma which has transformed its physical characteristics. However, based on the collected qualitative data from numerous library sources and interview with the experts show that there is no room to permit its utilization unless in dharuriyh situation. To justify the arguments, the researchers propose a guideline of determination haram status animal plasma into surimi products that will be a good reference for other researchers to comprehend this issue. The analysis shows ‘illah (legal cause) of its prohibition due of its impurity characteristics as stated in the Islamic legal texts. In addition, principle of Istihalah, Istihlak , Bara’ah Asliyyah and preservation of dharuriyyah al- khamsah are applied to strengthen the arguments. Last but not least, to vast up the discussion, fatwa debates related to the status of APA at International and National level are included as well. Lastly, this guideline has potential to contribute in Contemporary fiqh and science knowledge, halal seafood producer and advancement of future research particularly in the context to understand hukm of intentionally transform and mixing APA as an alternative ingredient into surimi products.

“…While many argue that no prohibition exists in Islam, others counter that genetic modification means changing God's creation which is prohibited (Atalan-Helicke 2015). Also, ethical concerns regarding consequences of GMOs on environmental and human health have been posed and benefits have been weighed against potential harm (Isa and Man 2014). Probably the most famous controversy revolves around the allowed stunning methods during ritual slaughter.…”

The consumption of halal food may be seen as an expression of the Muslim identity. Within Islam, different interpretations of 'halal' exist and the pluralistic Muslim community requests diverse halal standards. Therefore, adaptive governance arrangements are needed in the halal food market. Globalization and industrialization have complicated the governance of halal food. A complex network of halal governors has developed from the local to the global level. In this paper, we analyze to what extent halal certification bodies in the Netherlands address the needs of the Muslim community and how they are influenced by international halal governance. The Netherlands serves as a case study with its growing Muslim community and its central position in international trade. The data comes from literature review and eleven qualitative semi-structured interviews with the most prominent actors in the Dutch halal governance system. Our analysis shows that the halal governance system in the Netherlands is weakly institutionalized and hardly adaptive to the needs of a heterogeneous Muslim community. Improvements are needed concerning stakeholder engagement, transparency, accessibility, impartiality and efficiency.

Purpose The main research attempts guiding questions about management research agendas had been relevance questions versus rigor questions. Researchers have also attempted to set management research agendas in particular sectors. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no research, however, has addressed the infrastructural and foundational questions of what moral priorities and ethical principles should guide the future development of management research. Because the Islamic theological approach is a “transcendental values integration” approach, it presents a potentially viable source of reference particularly for scholars interested in ethical philosophical paradigmatic approaches. Islamic literature has presented guiding principles as to how to balance priorities through the Jurisprudence of Priorities (Fiqh Al-Awlawiyyat). The purpose of this exploratory conceptual paper is to synchronize the Islamic background literature on the jurisprudence of priorities with management research development and agendas. The research is exploratory in nature. Design/methodology/approach The paper is conceptual, merging Islamic literature with management research for the development of a framework to potentially guide management researchers in prioritizing their research agendas. Findings The research resulted in the conceptualization of a framework aiding researchers in the prioritization of their research agendas. Research limitations/implications The research has implications for management scholars who are interested to prioritize their research projects and agendas. The research presents a schematic diagram and guiding framework through which scholars can reflect on their choice of research topics. Practical implications The research is also relevant to funding agencies as they devise the funding priorities in the management field. Originality/value This paper addresses the unique and foundational question of what moral priorities and ethical principles should guide the future development of management research. The authors build on a religious-philosophical approach, drawing on the Islamic jurisprudence of priorities as a literature base. The authors, therefore, address the key principles of responsible research regarding how it can be relevant on the infrastructural level to society and how the benefit to key stakeholders should be tackled. To the authors’ knowledge, this was not done in previous literature.
