Administrative Cost, Halal Certification, Halal Governance, Halal Product Assurance Standards, Halal RegulationAbstract
This study aims to analyze the contradictions between Indonesia’s legal mandate for halal certification and its ineffective implementation, which contradicts the principles of maṣlaḥah and good governance. Using a qualitative research method with an empirical legal approach, this study draws on data from interviews with policymakers, academics, and halal industry practitioners. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that regulatory disharmony, limited budgets, and weak halal product assurance hinder effective certification and restrict MSMEs participation. These conditions reflect a gap between the normative legal framework and its practical realization. This study contributes a maṣlaḥah based analysis of halal certification governance, highlighting the need for regulatory harmonization, capacity-building, and cost-reduction mechanisms. This study recommends the establishment of a synergistic, multi-stakeholder halal ecosystem to accelerate the certification process and enhance the global competitiveness of Indonesia’s halal industry. The scientific contribution of this study lies in offering a maṣlaḥah-based analytical framework for evaluating halal certification governance as an approach that integrates Islamic legal theory with contemporary public governance analysisReferences
