What are alcohol vinegar and white vinegar, and are they permissible or forbidden?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Alcohol vinegar, if mixed with foods after it has turned into vinegar, is pure and permissible to use, because its intoxicating property is removed by its transformation into vinegar. However, if it is mixed with foods before it has turned into vinegar, it is impure and impermissible to use.
