International Halal Tayyib Business Women Council (IHTBW Council)
The International Halal Tayyib Business Women Council (IHTBW Council) is an innovative initiative aimed at establishing a global framework for women entrepreneurs and business leaders who are committed to the principles of Halal and Tayyib in their business practices. The term “Halal” refers to what is permissible or lawful in Islam, while “Tayyib” signifies purity, quality, and wholesomeness. Together, these concepts form the foundation of ethical business practices that align with Islamic values.

The primary purpose of the IHTBW Council is to serve as an Accreditation Body for businesses and lifestyle practices that adhere to the Halal Tayyib Assurance Standard. This standard encompasses a wide range of sectors including food, cosmetics, fashion, finance, and more, ensuring that products and services meet both religious requirements and high-quality benchmarks. The council aims to:
