Which Soft Drinks Are Halal?

[race]

As-salaam mulaikum. Does anyone have a list of soft drinks which are halal to drink. I know coco cola, nestle supports Israel but does it make a difference if they are sold in Canada or US. Also, does PepsiCo support Israel?

According to this website: Muslim consumer group Canada, coke, seven up are haram. Does anyone here have a clear cut answer.

[Mu3lam]

Pepsi doesn't support Israel as far as I'm aware.

All Coke products will help fund Israel.  Even if they didn't, it would be immoral to drink killer coke products.

As far as I'm aware, none of them have haraam ingredients.  Just make sure they don't support immoral practices.

Off the top of my head: Coke (Fanta, Monster, Sprite, Sunkist), McDonalds, Nestle, StarBucks, Hanes, Intel, Fox. I know these for sure.

[Ali94]

Just stick to drinking water and you're good.

[Omer2708]

Milk 'n' Water, All the other drinks who come from a factory are not healthy. They just cause damage to your organs, sooner or later.

[Al-Hussayni]

Amir-ul-Mumineen (as)  said: "Water is the chief of drinks both in this world as well as in the Hereafter."

 

Abu Abd Allah (as) said: "If one enjoys and  appreciates the taste of water in this world Allah (azwj) will Give him water in Jannah (Paradise)."

I am not a big fan of soft drinks, although sometimes I do drink it. But it so happens sometimes if you go for dinner, wedding, birthday party, and you see all the soft drinks, I just wonder and have doubts, whether they are halal or not. How do the muslims who are drinking it know for sure its permissible. Although it might be allowed from a Shari point of view(not certain on that), but nonetheless it does affect ones spirituality to some degree. I am even surprised, that some companies wont tell you the full detail about the ingredients they use in their food products like potato chips, chocolate chip cookies, etc.

[Rohani]

As far as I know pepsi is good and coke is bad. Usually these two own all major soft drinks probably most no name brands are good

For people that love soda (pop), a good replacement is: 

0 calories, 0 carbs. Tastes just like soda.

Rename it "ChemicalWater"

 

More fitting.

 

EDIT: Guess I was wrong. Checked the ingredients; The worst thing there seems to be stevia and "natural flavorings". Seems pretty safe I guess.

Hanes, Intel, Fox.

I don't know about the OP, but personally I wouldn't drink pants, computers, or news so I'm pretty safe on that front.

MSNBC contributes more to Israel than Fox does, btw.  Fox is far more neutral than people give it credit for.  All media outlets are owned by Jews, though, so no matter what Israel gets a kickback ...

The question is regarding soft drinks^^^^

They're all halal to drink. Anyone who tells you differently is talking out of their rear passage without any real basis.

As for whether it's healthy, that's another matter.

[Ibn Al-Shahid]

I think I read a paper on here that in the west there is a small percentage of alcohol in soft drinks. I am not sure though, you will need to check on the internet.

[kadhim]

^Even if true, and this is unlikely, not a concern, according to accepted fiqh.

[skylight2]

Water, lassi, doogh, home juiced fruit, are all halaal and soft drinks 

[BintAlZahraa]

Forget who funds who, soda all together is disgusting. Honestly, you won't know what you've been doing to your taste buds until you stop drinking that stuff.

[Ali-F]

What is a soft drink?

[Guest Assalamu alikum]

I know this thread is six years old and now triggered by the guest user but I just want to say that I think soft drinks do not contain anything animal or alcohol which makes them halal and probably have vegetarian logo on them.

I don't drink soft drinks because they are not healthy because of artificial sugar that is linked to cancer but we don’t hear about these health hazards because its a billion dollar industry.

I'm surprised to hear that but then I think Muslim Consumer Group Canada is probably Sunni

it really doesn't matter if it is halal or not. these companies fund the bullets and weapons that kill many innocent Muslims, people are taking part in it whether they like it or not.

I agree. I am pleased to say I'm not part of the murders because I don't buy or drink their products

As salaamun aleikum,

Yup...and thinking and behaving accordingly facilitates raising your practice of Islam to the next level, in sha Allah. Everything we say and do has an effect in the algorithym we all live in, and personally, I want nothing to do with contributing to oppression. 

Well said, brother
