There is no contradiction between the two fatwas (35881) and (34943). The first clarifies the ruling on eating what has been mixed with intoxicants in general, while the second explains that if an intoxicant () undergoes a transformation and its nature and name change, the ruling of prohibition is removed from it, and it becomes pure. However, it must be noted that khamr mixed with foods in non-Muslim lands often retains its original nature, and the ruling of no. (34943) applies to it.
