- Abstract
Muslim fashion users among UM students, in this case, the hijab, are no longer something that is avoided in order to look beautiful and elegant with modifications to the hijab. On the other hand, the “shar’i hijab” and “halal hijab” are marketing strategies wrapped in Islamic values. This paper is the result of interviews and observations made with students of the State University of Malang (UM) regarding the use of the hijab, especially the shar’i hijab (halal hijab). Interviews and observations were conducted when the students attended lectures in the Islamic Religious Education course. The commodification of Islamic values in the discourse of “hijab shar’i” is not the main aspect, although their assumptions regarding the use of the hijab must also be straightened out, especially from an Islamic perspective. At first glance, it can be concluded that halal branding in the field of fashion among female students, especially halal headscarves, seems to have not received a big response. This is in contrast to the conclusions of studies that show a great commodification of Islamic values in the discourse of the shar’i hijab or halal hijab.
