Majlis Ugama Islam Brunei

The Majlis Ugama Islam Brunei (MUIB), the Islamic Religious Council of Brunei Darussalam, is the supreme body for Islamic affairs in Brunei, operating under the authority of His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. MUIB oversees the religious and regulatory framework for halal certification in Brunei, with the Halal Certification and Endorsement Unit (KHEU) operating as its technical certification arm. As the religious supervisory authority behind Brunei's halal system, MUIB ensures that all halal certification decisions are grounded in Islamic jurisprudence and in accordance with Brunei's strict Islamic governance framework. MUIB halal certification is recognised by JAKIM (Malaysia), MUIS (Singapore), and accepted across GCC import markets, reflecting Brunei's position as an Islamic sultanate with internationally credible halal oversight. For food businesses operating in or exporting from Brunei, MUIB recognition is the ultimate religious authority underpinning all halal claims, and its endorsement provides strong consumer trust across Muslim-majority markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
