What is the ruling on beverages containing alcohol in weak proportions, according to the findings of several international laboratories?
If the presence of alcohol in a drink's composition is confirmed through reliable laboratory analysis or by the manufacturer's admission, then its ruling is detailed as follows: If the alcohol underwent a transformation in the composition before being added to the drink and lost its intoxicating property, then it is permissible to drink and sell it. However, if the alcohol retained its intoxicating property after being added to the drink, then it is not permissible to drink or sell it, even if its proportion is small.
