However, it is usually an accessory designed for women. Even so, there are some people in the society who use henna as a treatment for postpartum internal wounds. Through inductive and deductive analysis, the objective of this article is to analyse, from the fiqh al-hadith perspective, on the usage of henna that is explained in the hadiths in order to get a comprehensive explanation of the use of henna that was recommended by the Prophet PBUH so that the discussion can be related with the reality of the proper use of henna in society. The results of the study found that, from the fiqh al-hadith perspective, the discussion on the use of henna is [1] Henna as a hair dye to darken grey hair; [2] Henna also acts as an accessory designed for women whether it is for their nails or hair; [3] The law prohibits the use of the colour of henna for men as accessories tha...

The weed is leafless plant, glabrous, yellow-white in colour, with haustoria, sucker-like attachments to the aerial parts of a wide range of host plants. This study was instituted to assess the allelopathic potentials of C. campestris on lettuce and radish as test plants. Three types of treatment using aqueous extract of fresh (fc), and dried s (dc) and ethanol extract of dried C. campestris (ec) were assayed for their allelopathic effects on radish (Raphanus sativus) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds. These extracts reduced seed germination, root and shoot lengths of both radish and lettuce. The roots of radish were more sensitive vis-à-vis the shoots when exposed to fc, while shoots were more sensitive than roots when exposed to dc. Dose-mediated differences in shoot and root lengths of radish were registered when treated with ec. The roots of lettuce were more sensitive compared with the shoots when exposed to ec, while no measurable effect was observed when roots and shoots of lettuce were exposed to fc and dc. The results demonstrated the allelopathic effects of dodder on the tested host plants. The potentials of these extracts and their chemical constituents as bioactive ingredients for new herbicides are implied.

A phytochemical study on the chemical constituents of C. campestris was carried out. Six compounds were isolated through chromatographic method and identified as sitosterol1, pinoresinol2, arbutin3, kaempferol4, quercetin5, and astragalin6. The ethanolic extract of C. camprestris displayed inhibitory allelopathic effects at doses 500 ppm and above by inhibiting seeds germination and seedling growth of lettuce, radish and weedy rice as the test plants. The allelopathic potential of three compounds isolated, viz. kaempferol4, sitosterol1 and pinoresinol2 were investigated. All the three compoundsat doses of 1-100μM showed stimulatory effects on plant growth of radish, lettuce and weedy rice seedlings. The response of all assayed species was dose-dependent.

Surveys were conducted in 2008-2009 in the state of Johore, Peninsular Malaysia to assess the extent of spread and distribution of C. campestris, and enlist its host range and damage susceptibility among crop plants and weed species. No less than 12 crop plants and 70 weed species were hosts to C. campestris in about 45,500 ha of crop and non-crop land surveyed in Johore, Peninsular Malaysia. Asystasia gangetica, Mikania micrantha, and Chromolaena odorata were the most common hosts among weed species while dodder was prevalent among cover crops (Calopogonium mucunoides and Pueraria phaseoloides), young tapioca, oil palm, and rubber plants. There were site- and host-mediated differences in the extent of spatio-temporal spread of dodder throughout the areas surveyed, although no significant differences were registered on the extent of spread in the three consecutive surveys at 4-monthly intervals. The areas of spread range from about 0.36 to 250,000 . The dodder populations displayed highly clumped spatial distribution pattern with variance-mean-ratio values ranging from 38.17 for Segamat populations to 123776. 56 for Kota Tinggi equivalents. The parallel figures of Lloyd's patchiness index were 1.19 and 1.38. Leaf disc of weed and crop plants exposed to 1% or more of ethanol extracts of dodder indicated that A. gangetica, Ageratum conyzoides, Cassia alata, M. micrantha, Murdannia nudiflora, Phyllantus niruri, P. urinaria and Saccharum multiflorum were the most susceptible weed species, while Manihot esculenta was among the moderately susceptible crop plant.

Muslims put a high level of trust in sunnah food due to its health benefits and is viewed as a way to follow the conduct of Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. As a result, many products labeled as sunnah food are produced and marketed in Malaysia. On 27th February 2016, JAKIM had made a press statement disallowing the labeling of products as sunnah food. This attracts public concerns which lead to discussions on legal issues in sunnah food labeling.This paper will outline the legal issues which have arisen such as the law that governs labeling, quality and standard of sunnah food, adulterated food, as well as the legal provisions which regulate the issue of food safety. This paper aims to promote innovation in the form of sunnah food but at the same time stresses on the importance of maintaining the food safety as required by law.
