What is the ruling on white and red vinegar?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basic ruling concerning vinegar is permissibility, regardless of its color, if it is made from permissible substances, or from wine that has turned into vinegar on its own without intervention. However, if it is made from wine and its transformation into vinegar occurred through human action, then its use is not permissible according to the more preponderant opinion.
