Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Dear brother,

Alcohol is forbidden in the Sharee’ah. There is no difference between drinking it or using it in any foods or drinks, nor is there difference between its quantity. The ruling is the same for alcohol whether it is in a small or large quantity, it makes no difference.

For more benefit on the existence of a small percentage of alcohol in food or other substances, please refer to Fataawa 382309, 327754, 299059, 301753, and 81423.

Allah knows best.
