Does the use of creatine ethyl ester, which is forbidden by Sharia, render this product unlawful?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Creatine is a substance that supplies muscles with energy. It is like any other substance that builds the body, protects it, or generates energy, and there is no evidence for its prohibition. As for Creatine Ethyl Ester, there is no information about it. If the substance contains an intoxicant or is harmful to the body, then it is forbidden, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Every intoxicant is forbidden," and his saying: "There shall be no harm or reciprocating harm." If it is free from such things, then there is no objection to its use.
