Abstract

Background and objective:  The matter of halal and paying attention to the culture of its use is an issue that is emphasized by Islam. Reflecting on the verses and hadiths, we understand that this issue is quite important in the view of Islam, and it has paid much attention to it and has mentioned many effects and consequences for its observance or non-observance. From a scientific point of view, the effects and benefits of halal food and the negative consequences of using haram food have been proven in many cases. Therefore, logically, all human beings, even non-Muslims, should pay attention to this issue.
Results: There are factors in the promotion and dissemination of halal that many statesmen in non-Islamic countries deal with. Naturally, these factors must be sought outside the realm of halal. This article examines the cultural, social, political, and economic implications of preparing halal food, which raises concerns among non-Muslim countries and counteracts the promotion of halal culture.
Conclusion: The confrontation of non-Islamic states with this culture is not public due to the acceptance of halal products by the people of those countries, and even now there are halal brands in most countries of the world, but in practice, there are various methods such as highlighting non-Islamic brands and creating various obstacles to weakening the position of Halal brands in their countries.
