| Summary: | The fatwa of compulsory boycott of Israeli goods has been issued by the ruling bodies and scholars. Yet it is often
questionable from a practical standpoint and ability of its implementation in the context of the open and global
economy especially when involving American products. Among the brands included in the list of businesses to be
boycotted is Kentucky Fried Chicken Holding (KFCH) Malaysia, which in fact also involved and contribute to
Muslims’ economic and finance in Malaysia. The demand of Islamic law, the practicality of the business world
and the reality of the Muslim world should be considered. Hence this paper has been compiled with the aim of
analyzing the wise approach of KFCH Malaysia on how to apply the demand of boycotting Israeli and goods. To
achieve the objective, this study inductively and deductively analyses information gathered through documents
and literature reviews within the framework of Fiqh al-Waqi ' (Fiqh based on reality). The study found that this
boycott is not practical in Malaysia and should be evaluated based on factors that would be an advantage or ease
and not detrimental or difficult to the Muslim community. |
