Abstract

The doubtful matters (umur al-mutashabihah) remain significant issues in the classification of halal and haram. The Muslim community is often concerned about the influence of doubtful matters on the activities of the subject of the law (mukhalaf). Although the tradition of the Prophet (PBUH) has expressed that "the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear", yet there is a need to explain the position of Islamic jurist on the phrase "and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know". There can be doubtful matter in the substance (At-Tashabuhu fi Al-aini). Also, doubtful matter can occur in earnings (At-Tashabuhu fi Al-kasbi) and the circumstances of the law's subject (Tashabuhu fi ḥāl). The level of awareness and concerns to consume halal products and services have triggered the search for understanding the reality of doubtful issues. The study is qualitatively based on employing doctrinal approaches in gathering library data on classical and contemporary scholars' commentaries on doubtful matters between halal and haram. It also analyses these three classifications related to mukhalaf (responsible person) action in Islamic jurisprudence. This study will use Islamic jurisprudence principles to explain the three classifications of what remains lawful, unlawful, and doubtful to an average mukhalaf. The study will suggest the need for synergy between Shariah experts' role and the scientific experts in determining the legality of doubtful matters in halal products and services.
