Irn Bru Soft Drink Contains 0.05% Alcohol - Haram?

[JayJay]

SA everyone,

 

I've recently been informed that a Scottish soft drink, Irn Bru, contains 0.05% alcohol. Because the concentration is so low the ingredients do not need to state that there is any alcohol present.

 

I've seen the drink served at many mosques and the drink seems to have a dedicated following in the Muslim community in Scotland.

 

I've searched for guidence on the net but can only find Sunni sources. I have also checked various Marja sites but found nothing definitive. I wanted to know if anyone here could point me to any source that could give me clear guidence as to whether or not alcohol is permissible in minute quantities.

 

Thanks

 

JJ

Search the archives of this site. The issue has been discussed a thousand times before. 

 

In brief, there is no issue with small amounts of incidental alcohol such that it has no effect on a person. 

 

Unless this drink comes from removing alcohol from a strong drink.
