Abstract

The global modest fashion industry continues to grow rapidly as Muslim consumers demand objectively verifiable halal integrity assurance. The complexity of the fashion supply chain, which is long, fragmented, and involves risky auxiliary materials such as dyes, glues, and threads, opens up opportunities for contamination and halal-washing, making digital traceability a strategic prerequisite for sharia compliance. This study aims to synthesize a digital traceability readiness model based on evidence-based assurance. The method used is a Thematic Literature Review (TLR) with a thematic synthesis approach. This study formulates a Three-Level Readiness Taxonomy that maps the evolution of halal assurance from a commercial orientation to substantive halal integrity, while also recommending the implementation of a Private-Permissionless Blockchain architecture to balance trade privacy and halal transparency for Muslim fashion industry players.

Bahasa Abstract

Industri modest fashion (gaya busana tertutup) global terus tumbuh pesat seiring meningkatnya tuntutan konsumen Muslim terhadap jaminan integritas halal yang dapat diverifikasi secara objektif. Kompleksitas rantai pasok busana yang panjang, terfragmentasi, dan melibatkan bahan penolong berisiko seperti pewarna, lem, dan benang membuka peluang kontaminasi serta halal-washing, sehingga ketertelusuran digital menjadi prasyarat strategis bagi kepatuhan syariah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mensintesis model kesiapan ketertelusuran digital (digital traceability readiness) berbasis evidence-based assurance. Metode yang digunakan adalah Thematic Literature Review (TLR) dengan pendekatan sintesis tematik. Penelitian ini merumuskan Taksonomi Tiga Level Kesiapan yang memetakan evolusi jaminan halal dari orientasi komersial menuju integritas halal substantif, sekaligus merekomendasikan implementasi arsitektur Private-Permissionless Blockchain untuk menyeimbangkan privasi dagang dan transparansi halal bagi pelaku industri busana muslim.
