Abstract

This study examines the gap between international halal standards and local practices in implementing Halal Management Systems (HMS). Through a comprehensive literature review, the research identifies key factors contributing to this gap, including differences in Islamic law interpretations, technological capacities, and economic interests among countries. The study analyzes the implications of these disparities on the global halal industry and proposes strategies for harmonization. Findings suggest that bridging this gap requires structured international cooperation, strengthening national capacities, public education, technological innovation, and respect for cultural diversity. The study contributes to the ongoing efforts to develop more effective and globally accepted Halal Management Systems.
