“…However, in the same way that Christianity has different expressions of faith, albeit with a common core, so too does Islam. Different Islamic traditions (sharia) can have different interpretations of what is halal and haram, as well as different religious practices and interpretations (Razak et al, 2020). Different sharia traditions are also mediated by their cultural context, with some Islamic cultures substantially more conservative than others (Gorji et al, 2023; Hersi, 2018; Sayira et al, 2023).…”

“…Although constituting one of the world's largest religious populations and an extremely significant market in its own right (Mastercard-CrescentRating, 2020;Pew Research Centre, 2015, there is a relative lack of market research on resident, migrant, and temporary (tourist/student) Muslim minority populations in non-Muslim majority countries. Nevertheless, there is increasing interest in such research as Muslim minorities are growing in many non-majority countries and have their own specific market characteristics as a result of what is halal (permissible) and haram (forbidden) in Islamic teaching (Bergeaud-Blackler et al, 2015;Hall et al, 2023;Hall & Prayag, 2020;Sandıkcı, 2018). The international market for halal products, for example, is growing irrespective of whether it is consumed by Muslims or not (Fischer, 2011).…”

Positionality, inter-subjectivity and reflexivity in Muslim minority research

Drawing substantially on epistemologies developed in the context of vulnerable populations and responding to calls for greater epistemic justice in marketing research, an intersectional framework involving positionality, partiality, reflexivity, and situated knowledges is proposed to reflect on undertaking market research with Muslim minority populations in non-Muslim majority countries. This population is often highly vulnerable due to stigmatisation, Islamophobia and processes of othering that affect Muslim consumer behaviour, practices and identity. The framework is derived from reflexive experiences of market research undertaken by the authors on and with Islamic consumers both on an individual and collective basis and from relevant literature. The framework highlights the relational nature of the research experience and the situatedness and positionality of both the researcher and researched. In the case of research with Muslim populations we also draw out the significance of religious identity, ideology and religiosity; intersectionalities, including gender; and religious and cultural power as framed by cultural and institutional practices and which affect notions of class and attitudes to the other. We propose an approach that helps overcome Muslim/non-Muslim binaries that flatten the lived notions of the Muslim experience and consumption practices and instead provide for a richer and more representative account of Muslim identity. However, this approach also heightens researcher sensitivity to the situatedness of Muslims within social norms and the implications that this has for anonymity.

“…In this sense, it has been observed that the Quran and Sunnah influence the lives of Muslims as also impacting their attitudes and behaviors (Samori et al , 2016). Also, the routine activities of Muslims continue to be guided by the obligations as mandated in the Shariah law (Razak et al , 2020; Bogan and Sarisık, 2019). Also, the high level of predilection for halal products validates, vindicates and authenticates that religiosity occupies a major role in PI for these consumers (Khan et al , 2019; Aksoy and Abdulfatai, 2019; Quoquab et al , 2017; Ahmad et al , 2015).…”

Purpose Religion plays a crucial role as a sociocultural factor to assess consumer behavior. Stemming from the above, this study aims to analyze the impact of religion and ethnic concern on the purchase intention (PI) of consumers based on the theory of planned behavior. Design/methodology/approach The research method adopted for this study includes a meta-analysis of the extant literature for the past 20 years focusing on the relationship between religiosity and PI. Data of 24 values from 23 studies were used to assess the impact of religiosity on the PI of consumers. Findings The findings of this study indicate that religiosity has a strong impact on the PI of consumers. Further, this study identifies that location, sample size and product category play a vital role as moderators toward the relationship between religiosity and PI. This study identifies critical and pertinent implications for brands as they reach out to religious and cultural groups across various geographies, in the context of identifying target markets and adapting marketing strategies. Originality/value This study acts in response to the consistent call for research to focus on religion-related variables and fills the gap calling for empirical research into religiosity and its impact on PIs. This study makes notable theoretical, managerial and methodological contributions to the field.

“…Therefore, the effects of Islam have been widely observed in travel and tourism industries in recent years. Islamic doctrine encourages Muslims to travel (Razak, Hall & Prayag, 2020). However, it is obvious that the encouraged action of travel in question is far from the tourism activities of our day.…”

“…These factors mostly include visiting friends and relatives which is known as silaturahim, pilgrimage, umrah, trade, ziyarah (a visit to the tomb of a holy person), contemplation, i.e. reading the verses written by Allah in the book of universe, and understanding incapacity of human beings against Allah (Razak et al 2020;Boğan & Sarıışık 2019;Din, 1989;Jafari & Scott, 2014). In the Qur'an and hadiths, these factors direct the individual to travel and shed light on the difference between Islamic tourism and halal tourism.…”

The numbers of Muslims travelling to Turkey is increasing day by day. Although Turkey is one of most visited halal tourism destinations in the world, papers related to halal hospitality practices in Turkey are scarce. Current study is a conceptual paper that aims to fill this gap through evaluating recent halal hospitality developments in Alanya, Turkey. In this paper, first the author distinguishes between Islamic tourism and halal tourism terms which emerge from the relationship between Islam and tourism and then evaluates recent halal hospitality developments in Alanya. It is stated that factors that motive individuals to travel may present clues to distinguish these terms. Showing parallelism with the increasing number of Muslim tourists in Turkey, the number of halal hotels in the destination has increased. Many conservative hotel companies recently have changed their concept to Islamic to respond halal tourism market. It is also stated many halal hotels operating in Alanya has no halal certification which is possibly result of lacking official unit to do.
