Ceramic product are widely utilized in various applications, including interior and exterior decoration, sanitary wares and tableware. In the contact of Malaysia as an Islamic country, the distinction between halal and non-halal products holds great significance. This classification extends to ceramic products, with the National Fatwa Council’s Committee prohibiting the use of bone china, a ceramic material derived from animals not slaughtered according to Islamic methods, for Muslim individuals. This article aims to explore the differentiation between bone china and fine china focusing on their materials in relation to their status within Islamic law. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analysing research articles, online newsletters, and company websites, to identify patterns, gaps, and inconsistencies. The review employed a systematic search strategy, incorporating specific inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined in the article. By adopting a qualitative research approach, this study drew upon previous writings and expert opinions. The findings of the research aim to inform the public and serve as a valuable reference for future investigations.
