Can nail polish be halal? Concerns over breathable and water-permeable claims of wudu-friendly nail polish By Amanda Lim Concerns remain surrounding the breathability and water-permeability of wudu-friendly nail polish products, leading some to question exactly how halal nail polish can be.
As the knowledge that what you put on your skin is as important as what you eat grows, the halal consumer is now demanding more sophisticated product to cater to their personal care needs.
Halal beauty and personal care products must not contain components like porcine ingredients, or any ingredients derived from animals that have been improperly slaughtered. Products that do not follow these rules are considered haram, or impermissible.
Several months ago, Hunter made many serious allegations
about corruption in the halal meat business, but ministers and Jakim officials denied wrongdoing. In November 2020, the NST exposed the tainted meat scandal, with more allegations about officials being paid off and the complicity of many people in government departments. Will there be more cover ups or will the authorities finally act on these allegations?
Real beef, or kangaroo and diseased meat being sold as beef? Halal or merely labelled as halal?
Corrupt bureaucrats and industry collaborators have compromised halal integrity for more than 270 million Muslim consumers across Asia and around the world who are eating meat that has been falsely certified as having been butchered in compliance with religious standards. Authorities in at least three countries are seemingly too timid to take on powerful religious authorities, and their superiors in supreme religious councils have also looked the other way.

Negri Sembilan Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS) has been making rounds in Kuala Pilah based on complaints from the public about Muslims eating at restaurants which are not halal-certified by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM).
Based on public complaints, the agency found that many Muslims visit these premises despite them being run by non-Muslims.
However, it was reported that JHEAINS can’t take action against these premises because the owner did not apply for or hold any halal certification.
It’s also out of their jurisdiction to take action on those who dine there as JHEAINS explained that it can only advise Muslim customers to avoid eating and drinking at non-Muslim shops that do not have a halal certificate.
