The partial support for H1 (Muslim consumers will have higher purchase intentions for the product package
with religious symbol compared to the product package without symbol) underpins the
importance of religious symbols as visual cues. However, the use of religious symbols on product package
depends upon the nature and religious symbolic value of the product. Our results infer that Muslim
consumers may be more attentive to the package of products with low symbolic value, such as hair colour.
A possible reason may be that the presence of a religious symbol helps Muslims justify their purchase
because the products are less consistent with their religious beliefs.
