Indonesia must first apply for a halal
certificate unless they have a halal
certificate as long as the Halal Certificate
issued by a foreign halal institution has
collaborated on recognition (20). The
potential and opportunities of the global
halal industry in the future are enormous
and promising (21).
There is no conflict between the principles
of halal and technological developments.
The application of halal standards in the
meat industry has improved the quality of
the modern meat industry (22). It turns out
that halal standards take science and animal
welfare into account (23). Implementation
of HTC increasing revenue and
performance of business plant (24,25).
A medicine comprises an active component
and an excipient (6). The components come
from several origins - animal, plant, or
synthetic. Haram / forbidden Muslims, as
indicated in the Qur'an, are several sources
(pigs, dead animals, or blood) (26).
Therefore, implementing the halal-tayyib
standard is a right, and an obligation for
Muslims, which will ensure that the
medicinal products consumed are
guaranteed in terms of Sharia and quality in
health care (8). Furthermore, Muslim
consumers are entitled to make informed
treatment choices (3).
There are essential players in implementing
halal standards, namely: the government,
the pharmaceutical industry, health
workers, and consumers. Every country has
an organization that examines relevant
problems and regulates HTC and the
“Guidelines for Halal Certification.” (6,13).
Products or certified Halal demands that the
supply chain or business processes align
with Islamic law and values (27,28). The
problem arises because of intense pressure
from Muslim consumers and the perception
of the negative sentiment behind the
business in the current certification (29).
There will be competition for halal
information between official and non-
government sources in the form of many
studies in the digital world. If these
conditions are not controlled, it will
confuse information in the community (20).
Halal certificate application scheme will
provide various advantages. Indonesia
decided to suspend the mandatory HTC for
drugs. Therefore, the Convention and
Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation
Scheme (PIC/S) becomes more basic
before certified halal (29).
In this review, we will discuss critical
players in implementing HPC, including
the ingredients that have been widely used
but still doubt their halalness and what they
are used for in the pharmaceutical industry.
This knowledge is essential for industry and
researchers to build safer alternative
materials.
2. Methods
The data were collected from
primary and secondary sources, namely, the
regulation and standard from the
authority’s bodies in Indonesia, academic
journals, and reference books related to
Islamic studies. The documents, related
themes, and classification were identified in
assisting the determination of halal status
for the ingredients’ evaluation process. The
research shows that Indonesia’s Halal Law
has a significant intermestic factor by
showing interrelationship influence
between domestic and international
dynamics. Furthermore, it is indicated that
the lack of clarity of Indonesia’s HTC
process (e.g., in the absence of tariff
regulation or lack of dissemination)
immensely affects international trade and
businesses in many countries.
3. Halal-tayyib Principle
3.1 Definition of Halal-Tayyib
Islam is not only a religion but also a way
of life. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
commands to consume the good and Halal
(Qur'anul Karim, 16:114; 23:51). His
prophet, Muhammad Shollallohu Alayhi
Wa Sallam, explained to avoid consuming
ambiguous things, whether halal or haram
(Imam Nawawi, Bukhari, and Muslim
hadith). The word halal is mentioned in the
