What is the ruling on putting nutmeg in food and selling it in spice shops, and is it forbidden like intoxicants?

Nutmeg is an evergreen tree whose fruits resemble pears. It is used as a spice and has effects similar to hashish, causing severe symptoms when taken in excessive doses. Scholars have differed regarding its ruling. The majority of scholars prohibit both small and large quantities of it. Others have allowed the use of a small amount if it is immersed with other ingredients. Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami indicated that it is an intoxicant and is prohibited according to the Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali schools of thought. The Hanafis consider it to have the ruling of an intoxicant. As for the Eighth Fiqh Medical Symposium, it permitted its use in small quantities to improve the flavor of food, provided it does not lead to intoxication. Sheikh Wahbah Al-Zuhayli opined that a small amount is permissible for improving food, while a large amount is prohibited. The more cautious view is to prohibit it even if it is mixed, based on the saying: "Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, a small quantity of it is unlawful." Its import into the Two Holy Mosques' land is prohibited unless it is mixed in a proportion not exceeding 20%.
