The objective of this research is to examine the practicality of leveraging block-chain technology to prevent halal crimes. A systematic review on relevant research publication on this issue was conducted and results from the review indicate that there is a huge potential in leveraging block-chain technology to benefit the halal industry as well as preventing halal crimes at grass root level. © 2021, Global Journal Al-Thaqafah.
