Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative approach using a library research method was employed. Multiple sources of literature are collected and analysed from the guidelines, standards, technical reports, websites, books, and journal articles published between 2020 and 2025. Thematic document analysis was used to examine the definition, roles, and the regulatory context of Halal Consultant in Malaysia. Findings: The study reveals the ambiguity and inconsistency of the current guidelines and standards regarding the roles of Halal Consultant and the lack of regulatory oversight by the Halal competent authorities. Between Halal Consultant coming from privately owned companies and government authorities and agencies, they provide similar outcomes of consultancy services, but with different objectives. A private consultant operates for profit while government authorities and agencies act within the agency mandates, which are tied to the national halal agenda. Hence, a key gap identified is the absence of standardized Halal Consultant guidelines to supervise Halal Consultant practice. Research limitations/implications: This research is based on primary and secondary sources of data. Further studies could incorporate empirical fieldwork to validate conceptual frameworks. Practical implications: This study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive regulatory framework governing the conduct and practice of Halal Consultant to ensure quality service in assisting entrepreneurs, particularly the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the halal certification process. Originality/value: This study is a pioneering work that conceptualizes Halal Consultant in Malaysia’s halal certification ecosystem by integrating perspectives from existing guidelines, standards, technical reports, websites, books, and journal articles. It clarifies the role of Halal Consultant as compared to other halal personnel, and the differences of private and publicsector consultants. It also proffers a foundation for future policy making scholarship and professional training programs for Halal Consultant Indexed publication 2026-02-24T01:05:29Z 2026-02-24T01:05:29Z 2025 text::journal::journal article Nurul Insyirah Muhammad Shah, Muhammad Nizam Awang, Hisham Sabri, Nur Ainna Ramli, Sharifudin Md Shaarani.
