Re: Does this fatwa make sense? Alcohol in soy sauce permissible?
Counteracting that is the fact that there is a hadith that Bibi Ayesha (ra) reporthat that the Prophet (pbuh) said “If a bucketful intoxicates, a sip of it is haram.”
No quantity of orange juice has ever been known to intoxicate person despite its alcohol content. On the other hand, at nearly 2% ethanol, a bucketful of soy sauce would certainly be enough to intoxicate a person.
Which bring me back to the question… why would a scholar who normally published very conservative fatwas permit 2% alcohol soy sauce? I would like to know if there is some knowledge that I’m missing out on.
