Abstract
In contemporary times, with the globalization of the food supply chain and the increase in the import of processed products from non-Islamic countries, traditional jurisprudential rules such as "Souk al-Muslimin" and "Yad al-Muslimin" have lost their former effectiveness in establishing purity and halality. The emergence of the "halal trademark" as a modern solution to fill this gap has created new jurisprudential challenges regarding its Shariah validity. The main objective of this research is to explain the jurisprudential foundations and analyze the degree of Shariah validity of the halal trademark on imported products from the perspective of Imamiyyah jurisprudence. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach and a descriptive-analytical (inferential) method. Information was collected through library and documentary methods, and the data was analyzed based on jurisprudential, fundamental and international halal standards. This mark can be relied on through three jurisprudential channels: first, through the "testimony of experts", where the exporting entity acts as a trusted expert; The second is about the "foundation of the wise" based on trust in standard signs that have not been denied by the lawgiver; and the third is about the "rule of authenticity" in the act of non-halal. The conclusion of the arguments indicates that the mere presence of a halal trademark on an imported product, if the reliability of the exporting entity is established and there is no definite knowledge to the contrary, has "Shariah evidence".
