I need help

[Zeinabibrahim]

I'm a young Muslim girl who knows my wrong and rights, Alhamdulillah I don't drink smoke or anything. 

My brother brought a Bundaberg pineapple and coconut sparkling drink, I checked the ingredients it dosnt show any alcohol ingredient, as I was drinking it one of my friends tell me that it has alcohol in it, I searched it up online and found out that they have 0.5% alcohol in their drinks. I'm confused, am I nejes? Do I have to make ghussul or is their anything I could do? Do I throw away the drinks? Is 0.5% something that is haram? Someone help please?

You are not najes and you dont need to make ghusl.

According to Sayyid Sistaini (may Allah prolong his life), alcohol is pure.

All kinds of alcohol (whether extracted from wood or other sources) is pure, not najis. So, the medicines, the perfumes, and the food containing alcohol are pure and can be used. It is also permissible to eat such food if the amount of alcohol is very minute, e.g., 2%.

salam i think the fatwa might be misleading if it is cited like this though it is correct. Some who are new to Islam may think that drinking alcohol following to its being pure is Halal ,too.

According to Grand Ayatullah Sistani alcohol is taher (ritually clean) but it is not permissible to drink it. Using perfume and medicines mixed with alcohol is permissible.

Thankyou for your help , very appreciated. I was so concerned.. On hearing that if you touch alcohol eventually you are najis for 40 days or so, I might as well ask if that's true ..?

This is about drinking alchohol, not about touching it.

It is narrated by the Ahlulbayt [AS] that your prayers won't be accepted for 40 days if you drink alchohol.

So this has nothing to do with tahara or najasa either.

You're right. I should have explained that too. It's really confusing sometimes.

Thank you for reminding me of that.

Ayt. Sistani's view is: 

If the amount of alcohol in food and drinks is very little like 2% it is pure and you are also permitted to eat or drink such food and drinks.

 All kinds of alcohol (whether extracted from wood or other sources) is pure, not najis. So, the medicines, the perfumes, and the food containing alcohol are pure and can be used. It is also permissible to eat such food if the amount of alcohol is very minute, e.g., 2%.  www.sistani.org

 

Besides, since you weren't aware of the alcohol in the beverage you're not sinful and therefore not regarded to be like the one who drinks alcohol deliberately (شارب الخمر); which means you're not expected to repent (even if it's always great to ask for Allah's forgiveness.) and your prayer inshallah will be accepted.
