Is vitamin E, or tocopherol, considered an intoxicant that impairs the mind, thus making its use forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) prevents the oxidation of fatty acids and maintains cell membranes. Its sources include lettuce, wheat germ oil, meat, milk, eggs, and others. There is no objection to using products containing it, as it is not an intoxicant. As for the E compounds found in some foods, they are various types of additives (preservatives, colorants, enhancers, sweeteners), and there is no objection to consuming them regardless of their type or method of manufacturing.
