Jazaka Allah khairen
Thank you for your reply. I have also seen that hadith but I wasn't sure if that's also the case with the products I mentioned. The reason being if it is indeed haram according to that hadith then that would mean that at least the following products are forbidden:
- sauces and salad dressings (because they often contain vinegar),
- dairy products such as chocolate milk, whipped cream, pudding, soft ice cream, but also toothpaste (because they contain carrageenan and it's probably very hard to find out the source of carrageenan for each product)
- and ofcourse alcohol-free beer
As you can see these are products we often use or consume which is quite hard to avoid I think.. Do you think that this is true? Do you indeed avoid all of these products because they are or might be derived from alcohol?
