A landmark policy shift in the world’s largest majority-Muslim nation requires businesses to certify that their products—ranging from clothing to household items like toilet paper—comply with Islamic law. The new regulations aim to ensure consumer goods meet religious standards, potentially reshaping manufacturing and retail practices across industries. Companies failing to provide halal certification may face penalties, marking a significant expansion of state oversight in economic and social life. The move underscores growing efforts to align commercial activity with Islamic principles in a country where faith plays a central role in daily governance.
