Drinks which contain traces of alcohol

· 9 Rajab 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Minute alcohol is present in some drinks like 0.52% or something, something that will not intoxicate, no matter how much is drunk. Then if it doesn't intoxicate then what is the issue with it? I ask inquisitively, thank you. Of course I don't support alcohol being used at all, but the end product is not our doing.

Answer

Taqwa and the higher levels of righteousness requires that one also refrains from this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
