It also addresses food security and sustainability by discouraging hoarding and waste. The research highlights the practical implications of these principles in today's world, emphasizing ethical consumption, food justice, and environmental responsibility.This applied study demonstrates that Islamic dietary teachings offer timeless wisdom, addressing contemporary dietary challenges. By adhering to these principles, individuals can achieve balanced nutrition, ethical eating habits, and a healthier society. The study concludes that integrating Islamic dietary ethics into modern food practices can enhance overall well-being and sustainability.
