What is the ruling on drinking yeast dissolved in water after it has fermented? Thank you.

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the "yeast" mentioned has the property of intoxicating, it is impermissible to drink it, even if it does not actually intoxicate, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Every intoxicant is khamr, and every intoxicant is unlawful," and "What intoxicates in large quantities, a small quantity of it is unlawful."
