Pretty much anything besides alcohol or blood (human or animal).

The careful thing to note is that we are to avoid intoxicants. Alcohol is probably the most common intoxicant. So that is why we are to avoid drinking alcohol. I notice that the things you listed "drinking Soda or Tea or Milk " and some thing you did not list do contain what are medically called drugs. Although an intoxicant is a drug, not all drugs are intoxicants.

Care must be taken that You do not make the halal appear to be haram.

Yes tea, coffee, most sodas, chocolate and many other items do contain caffeine and caffeine is a drug. But it is not an intoxicant. Because something contains a drug is not an automatic reason to call it haram. Sugar is also a drug and many other items not usually associated as being drugs such as: saccharin, salt, some spices, Mono Sodium Glutamate (MSG), citric acid, Most vitamins, etc.

So virtually every potable liquid except for those which contain alcohol are permitted. With a few minor exceptions such as blood, which is also specifically forbidden.

Peace.

Just a word of warning that care should be taken with clear apple juice. It starts off in it's natural state as cloudy apple juice (that has none of the bits removed) and then the pectin is removed from it to make it clear. This can done by passing it through a gelatin filter (and the gelatin can be of swine or other non-halal slaughtered animal origin, or vegetable origin) or through the use of enzymes (some of which may originate from e.g. swine pancreas, other animals, or other origin). The gelatine can be chemically detected in the end product through testing.

It's best to check with the company first though as to what they use to clarify the juice, as it may be the case that they process it only using vegetable matter. But to avoid all doubt, cloudy apple juice may be best.

And Allah knows best.

Peace.

Also the unfiltered cloudy one tastes better. It was always my preference going back to child hood, long before I had accepted Islam. I never did like the clear one it always tasted like colored water to me.

evidence? Can you tell us which hadith, because I don't think I've heard of this before.
"Sorry I just remember reading it somewhere."



I have read ahadeeth about drunks in Makkah/Madina before the complete prohibition of intoxicants, including the one with Hamza (ra), but I don't think I've read hadith about "a lot of drunks and drug takers stumbling around in the Majids"



inaccuracy is a problem, but attributing lies to the prophet Muhammad SAW has severe consequences:

Narrated 'Ali: The Prophet said, "Do not tell a lie against me for whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then he will surely enter the Hell-fire."

I hope Allah will forgive me.

Btw Why is Indonesia not an Islamic State? Why has it got a secular government when it has a Muslim majority? Why is it a friend of the Infidel States at war with Islam?.

You are going off topic, Karl, but I'm going to bite anyway.

what do you mean by Islamic state?

As far as I know there is not one single country in the world that is an Islamic state (by Islamic state i mean following syariah). Please tell me if I'm wrong.

I cannot speak for other countries, but Indonesia is not an Islamic state because the majority muslims here are still very weak in our iman and Islam. May Allah SWT give Indonesian muslims (and other muslims all over the world) hidayah and strength so we all can implement syar'i in our private and public life.

However, Indonesia is also not an oppressive country. Muslims who live here are free to fully implement syar'i in their life, and the government fully protects the interests of muslims, which makes following Islam and sunnah easy and breezy.

Is there any muslim majority country not a friend with United States?

At least Indonesia does not provide any facility to US military and would never allow the US to meddle in our region. Let me tell you something: Had the US done to Indonesia something which they have recently consistently done to Pakistan, we would have gone to war with the US.

Indonesia also does not have political and trade relations with Israel.
