Abstract

Islam is a religion that places great emphasis on cleanliness and has its method of purification when it involves impurities (najis). Sertu is one of the ways to clean the impurities (najis) mughallazah by using 7 times where 1 wash using mutlak water mixed with soil and 6 washes with mutlak water. Therefore, the objective of this study is to systematically analyze the classical and recent literature related to the method of Islamic cleansing (sertu) to be used as an improvement in the guidelines in the halal industry of Malaysia. This is because there are problems related to the sertu process that do not have specific guidelines, for example, large areas, carpeted, and complex equipment such as machines that are sensitive to water or soil. Nine sources have been used as a database in screening the past research articles starting from the years of 2012 until 2021. The systematic literature review consists of search strategies, data collection, and analysis process for the articles obtained. A sum of 25 articles has been selected after eligibility through a set of criteria such as year of publication, languages, and have met the required elements. The results show that the information related to halal cleansing (sertu) taken from classical purification focuses more on the basic questions related to Islamic jurisprudence. Meanwhile, in the contemporary literature, the discussion changes to be more specific, and beneficial for the use of the halal industry nowadays. The conclusion of the study found that several issues can be the reason for the proposed improvement of guidelines in the process of Islamic cleansing (sertu) in the halal industry.
