Is food containing alcohol halaal?

“Modern-day perfumes which are alcohol-based are made from synthetic alcohol, and not alcohol which is derived from dates and grapes. Therefore, perfumes containing synthetic alcohol are permissible for external use. As such, it is permissible to sell such perfumes.”

“Minimal amounts of alcohol used in food products will be permissible to consume on condition that the alcohol is not sourced from grapes or dates. You may refer to Fatwa #31176 for a detailed answer.”

“Non-alcoholic beer is specifically marketed towards the Kuffaar and Fussaq who are accustomed to drinking normal beer. It has become a hallmark of the disbelievers and sinners. That is why, regular beer and non-alcoholic beer have identical tastes.”

“If the alcohol is from besides grapes and dates, and there is no haraam or impure ingredient contained in it, then it will be permissible to use it for external reasons.”
