What is the ruling on eating sour or spoiled grapes found in a cluster, and is it forbidden given that many of them are intoxicating, or are many of them not intoxicating?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
We have not found any evidence that spoiled or sour grapes are intoxicating. However, if it is proven that they are intoxicating, then consuming them is prohibited. Similarly, if it is proven that they are harmful, then it is not permissible to consume them.
