Breaking the standard: Halal Spa’s Climb for a change

Famous spa facilities—whether for health, beauty, or relaxation—are not always appropriate for Muslims, therefore innovative businesspeople came up with the idea of the halal spa to make these locations far more welcoming and accessible. Unquestionably a transforming – and healthy, sustainable, and conscious lifestyle beginning point.

It’s a fact that halal wellness centers abide sharia principles in their products and services. Furthermore, it incorporates Islamic values such as privacy, gender segregation and using halal products. Of course, Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva Som recently opened in March includes in one of many instances. Namely using ingredients such as locally found pink Qatari Clay, seaweed harvested from Qatar’s shore, local camels’ milk etc., are used in these procedures. Specifically, one of the hijama cupping therapy makes use of the camel milk for a slimming body mask.

Nonetheless even in most regions which doesn’t market for Islamic services these halal principles are followed. Afterall these measures being followed reflect on how important Sharia-compliant spas are to market strategies, which makes it harder to ignore unless they wish to have no growth opportunities in this era. And so, all recorded spas would have to be registered with the Crescent Rating system to determine if they are following the guidelines for a safe and satisfying service which exclusively caters to Muslims. Consequently, right around when COVID-19 quelled GMTI estimated the number of global Muslim travelers increased from 108 million to a steady 261 million in 2021.

Moreover, Sharia principles are to be strictly followed in halal-certified spas. Ulama points to strict five regulations such as a ban on pornography/pornographic activities(these include decorations), protections for tourist privacy, usage of halal cosmetics, availability of prayer facilities and a ban on non halal services for guests. In addition, privacy is the main key, facilities entrance would be shielded from public view, the services would be given by same gender professionally qualified technicians whom are dressed appropriately heeding to the halal guidelines.
