Abstract

     This study was conducted to provide greater clearness for the meaning of non-alcohol serving hotels and Shariah-Compliant Hotels and to identify which of these rules of Shariah (no alcohol, halal food only, prayer rooms, Quran and prayer mats available in each room , guest dress code, beds and toilet positioned so as not to face the direction of mecca, bidets in the bathrooms, appropriate entertainment, predominantly Muslim staff , conservative staff dress, separate recreational facilities for men and women, Islamic funding) are applied in non-alcohol serving hotels. That could help in detecting if there are fully Sharaih- compliant hotels or not?
