In Dagestan, green bags printed with the word "Halal" can be called ritual objects — they are used to distribute sadaqa at funerals, and children collect sweets in them on Eid al-Fitr. Notably, the localization of the term "Halal" in Dagestan goes beyond transliteration into digraphia — graphic bilingualism. The inscription can appear as a combination of Cyrillic and Latin scripts styled to resemble Arabic calligraphy, sometimes incorporating characters from the alphabets of Dagestani languages. Variations found on bags include: Х1алал · Xialal · Халяль · Halal · حلال
