Is ethyl alcohol from corn halal?
Published as Dishwashing liquid which contains ethyl alcohol
Question
Is ethyl alcohol from corn halal? the reason I wanted to know is because I got a reply from a company who said they use ethyl alcohol from corn in their dish washing liquid, so is this washing up liquid permissible to use, because it is washed off anyway.
Answer
Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
