Managing halal products and production at a global scale is challenging, more so with the emergence of new technologies and applications. This paper investigates the innovative method of al-Talfiq as a useful Islamic ruling tool to manage the challenges in halal industry. It focuses on fiqh related issues within the halal supply chain (HSC) operation, and proposes al-Talfiq as a technical tool to reduce the constraints faced by the stakeholders in this industry. Al-Talfiq is the process of fusing two opinions from different jurists of an issue that has a number of elemental connections. To achieve that objective, literature on fiqh and halal logistics is examined to explore the applicability of al-Talfiq in current HSC operation. © Universiti Putra Malaysia Press.
