A chapter in Contemporary Discourse of Halal and Islamic Entrepreneurship, 2023, pp 49-59 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The global halal industry continues to experience growth and acceptance by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. This has created opportunities for expanded buyer–seller relationships. In such situations, potential for conflicts also increases, which may arise from dissatisfaction emanating from the non-observance of customer rights. To this end, this chapter provides an exposition on the growth of halal entrepreneurship, along with the fundamental consumer rights as contained in the United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection (UNGCP). The chapter further discusses the need for halal entrepreneurs to imbibe the UNGCP guidelines as a means towards strengthening relationship with customers so as to strengthen the industry further. In line with existing literature, the chapter notes the fact that prescriptions contained in the Qur’an and the Hadiths have provided sufficient laws to cater for protection of halal consumer rights; hence, no need for new laws to protect halal consumer rights. Rather, industry players should set up mechanisms to harmonize existing standard set by countries based on the provisions of the Qur’an and Hadith.
