BHA Specialist Service
Specialist halal certification for medicines, supplements, vitamins, and healthcare products — recognised across the UK, NHS, and international markets.
The pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry presents unique challenges for halal certification. Many medicines and supplements contain animal-derived excipients such as gelatine capsules, stearic acid, lactose from non-halal sources, or trace alcohol in liquid formulations. BHA’s specialist pharmaceutical halal certification programme addresses these complexities.
Our Pharmaceutical Certification team includes qualified pharmacists, regulatory consultants, and Islamic scholars with expertise in pharmaceutical science and Shariah rulings on medicinal necessities (darurah). We assess each product against the relevant halal standards while recognising the nuances of regulatory constraints.
BHA’s scholars panel carefully considers the Islamic principle of necessity when certifying life-saving medicines where no halal alternative exists. Appropriate rulings are provided with full transparency and scholarly reasoning — ensuring compliance with both Shariah principles and patient welfare.
