<p>Perkembangan dunia moden kini membawa kepada penghasilan produk-produk moden yang baharu yang sering berkait dengan hukum halal dan haram terhadap umat Islam. Permasalahan ini muncul apabila konsep <em>istihalah</em> ini tidak diketahui umum oleh masyarakat Islam berserta konsep fatwa itu dilakukan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan kefahaman terhadap konsep <em>istihalah</em> tersebut bagi menyelesaikan permasalahan yang timbul dengan menjelaskan perbezaan konsep fatwa <em>istihalah</em> antara empat mazhab utama iaitu Hanafi, Syafi’i, Maliki dan Hanbali serta contoh aplikasi terhadap produk moden. Metodologi kajian yang digunakan adalah berbentuk kualitatif iaitu dengan cara analisis sumber dokumen-dokumen seperti buku agama, jurnal, artikel dan sumber lain yang relevan berkait dengan tajuk penelitian. Kajian menyimpulkan bahawa walaupun <em>istihalah</em> menawarkan penyelesaian syariah untuk produk moden, pelaksanaannya memerlukan kerjasama antara ahli fiqh, saintis, dan badan pengawal selia untuk memastikan pematuhan syariah yang ketat. Penyelidikan ini mencadangkan penyeragaman standard <em>istihalah</em> berdasarkan bukti saintifik dan fatwa muktabar bagi mengukuhkan industri halal global.</p> <p>The development of the modern world now leads to the production of new modern products that are often related to halal and haram laws by Muslims. This problem arises when the concept of <em>istihalah</em> is not generally known by the Muslim community along with the concept of fatwa being issued. This article aims to provide an understanding of the concept of <em>istihalah</em> to solve the problems that arise by explaining the differences in the concept of <em>istihalah</em> fatwa between the four main schools of thought, namely Hanafi, Syafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali, as well as examples of applications to modern products. The research methodology used is qualitative, namely by analyzing the source of documents such as religious books, journals, articles and other relevant sources related to the research topic. The study concludes that although <em>istihalah</em> offers a sharia solution for modern products, its implementation requires cooperation between jurisprudents, scientists and regulatory bodies to ensure strict compliance with sharia. This research suggests standardizing <em>istihalah</em> standards based on scientific evidence and authoritative fatwas to strengthen the global halal industry.</p>
