Does the concept of halal cover food products only?

Answer

According to the Halal Accreditation Agency's own corporate description, halal today is not limited to food products. Demand for halal certification arises across a wide range of sectors, including finance, textiles, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, logistics and tourism. The Agency also stresses that the concept of halal covers being wholesome, hygienic and of good quality at every stage from production until the product reaches the consumer. Halal assessment is therefore a process that looks at the whole supply chain rather than at a single ingredient.
