The Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) does not charge any fees when it authorizes foreign companies to issue halal (legitimate/allowed for consumption by Muslims) labels on products. However, there is a stipulation that these institutions must "contribute to promoting Islam in their (respective) environs." This no-cost authorization has become a lucrative opportunity to "bribe" senior MUI officials.
