Abstract

This study aims to analyze halal and haram food from the perspective of the Qur'an and Hadith. The method used is qualitative with a library research approach to examine various relevant primary and secondary sources. The analysis technique applied is content analysis to explore the concepts of halal and haram in the context of food based on religious texts. The results of the study indicate that Islam comprehensively regulates all aspects of human life, including in terms of food consumed daily. In the perspective of Islamic law, halal food is not only seen from the aspect of its substance or form, but also how to obtain and process it must be considered in accordance with the provisions set out in the Qur'an and Hadith. Halal food must meet the criteria mentioned in the sources of Islamic teachings, namely halal and thayyib (good, pure, and safe). In addition, the wisdom of consuming halal food is to keep the body healthy and free from disease, as well as to keep away from sin because it does not violate Allah's commands. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of understanding and complying with religious guidelines in choosing food that is in accordance with Islamic law.
