Abstract
Purpose of the study: This paper examines the relation between Muslim women customer offense due to Islamic advertising ethics violation and purchase intention of halal cosmetic products in Malaysia.
Methodology: The relation between Muslim women customer offense due to Islamic advertising ethics violation of halal cosmetic products and purchase intention in Malaysia was examined through a survey that included 110 Muslim women respondents in Malaysia, who used cosmetics. The items used for the operationalization of variables were based on the advertising ethics provided by Quran and Sunnah. Based on the correlation results, this study reveals that Islamic advertising ethic violation (honesty, racism, sexism, intention, and language) has correlation with purchase intention. A multiple regression analysis highlighted that racism, sexism, intention, and language have negative and significant influence on purchase intention.
Results: Only one variable was found that was not a significant influence on the purchase intention of halal cosmetic products in Malaysia. Sexism plays the most critical role in influencing consumers’ intention that makes them avoid buying halal cosmetic products. Furthermore, customer offense is created due to the violation of ethics and has a negative impact on purchase intention of halal cosmetic products.
Implications: The current study confirms that irrespective of their religion as Muslims, women’s perspective find those advertisements offensive and unethical. The ethics provided by Islam are universal in nature.
