This article aims to explore the differentiation between bone china and fine china focusing on their materials in relation to their status within Islamic law. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analysing research articles, online newsletters, and company websites, to identify patterns, gaps, and inconsistencies. The review employed a systematic search strategy, incorporating specific inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined in the article. By adopting a qualitative research approach, this study drew upon previous writings and expert opinions. The findings of the research aim to inform the public and serve as a valuable reference for future investigations.
