<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The concern for piety among contemporary middle‐class Muslims has led to efforts to establish a <jats:italic>halal</jats:italic> (permissible according to Islamic principles) economy. This can be seen in the thriving Islamic cultural economy in Malaysia, which refers to the links between Islamic culture and economic practices. Malaysia tops the Global Islamic Economy indicator, which serves as the dominant framework for evaluating and measuring the global <jats:italic>halal</jats:italic> economy. This was achieved through various initiatives, such as establishing research centres, of which the International Institute for Halal Research and Training (INHART) is among the most prominent. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and digital ethnography, this article focuses on INHART initiatives for building transnational <jats:italic>halal</jats:italic> networks. This article aims to explore how <jats:italic>halal</jats:italic> interpretations and practices travel across borders. I argue that <jats:italic>halal</jats:italic> research centres, such as INHART, signify both the decentring and centring of power transnationally and economically in terms of the global flow of <jats:italic>halal</jats:italic> knowledge and practices.</jats:p>
