Halal in the context of industrial operation deals with values, ethics, and integrity, whereby the products are certified as permissible to be consumed. Halal industries, therefore, have it’s own characteristics to face the challenge of numerous negative issues caused by the current technological and operational activities across the entire of the production chains. This paper hence, tries to illustrate how the Qur’an and a few fiqh theories offer its view towards resolving these challenges for both conceptual and operational constraints. It is done through the Qur’anic thematic analysis (Q.T.A), to enhance the existing halal conceptual understanding, and a few fiqh theories to deal with a few issues on the operational part. With a special attention been paid to the constraints of halal supply chain operations, this article try to suggest a conceptual and operational solutions both with QTA and a few fiqh theories to deal with the reality of the halal supply chain constraints. © 2016 American Scientific Publishers.
