Question :
Is it
haram to use balsamic vinegar, wine vinegar? What is criteria for
anything Halal?
Answer
:
As for the
ingredient “balsamic vinegar, wine vinegar”, you are best advised to
consult local Muslim scholars who are more aware of the nature of such
ingredients, for we are not sure about its nature, though we surveyed
the Internet for relevant information.
However,
we'd like to give you some general Islamic guidelines regarding the
Halal (lawful) food.
The
general principle is that any food is Halal except for the following
kinds:
1. The
dead animal
2. Blood
3. Pork
4. Animals
that have been dedicated to anyone other than Allah, that is those which
are slaughtered with the invocation of a name other than that of Allah
Almighty —for example, the name of an idol.
5. The
animal (or bird) that dies because of being strangled
6. The
animal (or bird) that dies because of being beat with something.
7. The
animal (or bird) that dies because of falling down from a height
8. The
animal that dies because of being gored by another animal.
9. The
animal (or bird) that dies because of being killed by a wild beast
10.
Animals that have been immolated to idols.
Accordingly, all the kinds of food that Halal except what contains any
of the prohibited kinds of food that we have mentioned above. Still, any
food that contains any intoxicating substance, whether little or much,
is absolutely Haram (unlawful).
