product is one of the services offered by IPPH UPM. This paper aims to explain ujrah according to fiqh muamalah and its application in analyzing a halal product in IPPH UPM. Also, identify the role of this institute in mobilizing the halal industry through research. Therefore, this study uses descriptive qualitative methods through library sources from turath books and scholarly books as well as journals.
