Abstract

This article discusses the urgency of revoking halal labeling of products affiliated with Israel in the perspective of Islamic law and is reviewed based on the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Fatwa No. 83 of 2023 concerning Support for the Palestinian Struggle. The fatwa emphasizes that supporting the Palestinian struggle is a moral and religious obligation of Muslims, and states that it is forbidden to support parties that directly or indirectly assist Israeli aggression, including through economic transactions. This research uses a juridical-theological approach that combines Islamic legal analysis with the principles of Islamic theology, to identify the law, relevance, and urgency of revoking the halal labeling of Israeli products and their affiliates. The results of the analysis show that the revocation of halal labeling of these products is not only relevant in fiqh law, but also urgent as a form of real implementation of the principle of al-wala` wa al-bara` (the principle of solidarity and detachment in Islam) and other Islamic values, as well as a strategic effort to suppress Israel's economic dominance. Thus, the need for a review of halal certification standards is an important part of supporting the struggle for Palestinian independence
