Gatorade is HARAAM!

AND

For funguy’s example, a large amount of beer or wine is known to intoxicate, so even a small amount is haraam. Hence the beer-battered cod and soup would not be permitted.

On the other hand, a large amount of orange juice or Gatorade has never been shown to intoxicate anyone, so small amounts are also allowed. Despite containing alcohol, orange juice cannot be considered to be an intoxicating substance and is therefore halal. Ditto with Gatorade and other fruit juices such as Lucozade in the UK.

I think you have had two litres of OJ before you posted the above.

So, can I have large quantities of French Onion soup with traces of red wine and beer battered fish and I will be OK?

Maddy, you sure it's 'large amount that intoxicates you, small is also prohibited'? I thought it's the 'small amount that intoxicates you, large amount is also prohibited'.

Anyway, I know where you're coming from and I agree with you. I gotta do some digging to find the evidence, insha'Allah.

“Small amount” is part of “large amount” so large amount is automatically haram, so there is no need of “fatwa” for that.

Re: Gatorade is HARAAM!

Captain1, that I know. ie. if small is intoxicating, then large would surely be a lot more. I didn't mean it like it.

The fatwa that I'm talking about was just very helpful for me. If I can find it, I'll post it, insha'Allah.

@Kaleem

Come to think of it all your income earned in US is haram…because the wealth in this country is created via interest/compunded interest so please refain from earning and cease and desist

My apologies Kareem but you are absolutely wrong here, your employers pays you, what you work for, how do they get that money is the matter between them and their God. You are responsible for your own deeds. Working hard in a liquor store will not qualify you for halal earning either; there are variations my friend… I hope you were not serious there^

In his book “The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam”, Sheikh Yousaf Al-Qaradawi wrote:

Whatever Intoxicates in Large Amounts is Haram in Any Amount
Islam takes an uncompromising stand in prohibiting intoxicants, regardless of whether the amount is little or much. If an individual is permitted to take but a single step along this road, other steps follow; he starts walking and then running, and does not stop at any stage. This is why the Prophet (peace be on him) said, “Of that which intoxicates in a large amount, a small amount is haram.” (Reported by Ahmad Abu Daoud, and al-Tirmidhi. )

And again, “If a bucketful intoxicates, a sip of it is haram.” (Reported by Ahmad Abu Daoud, and al-Tirmidhi.)

not available does not mean forced, you seem to be more confused than a mullah.

@Lajawab

^^

Some people voiced their opinion based on their knowledge…No biggie…

But the voicers were good Muslims and were commenting on Islam which is against the Islam of these tolerant and liberal people…That is a strict nono…

You can curse Islam, the Prophet :saw:, Allah :swt:, Muslims, Mullahs, Wahabbis, Slafis, fundos and it’s all right to these mod-Muslims…

But Allah forbid, should a good Muslim try to guide someone to what he thinks is the correct path…Then it’s anarchy, chaos, insult, abuse and hatred all rolled into one…

It’s quite funny…

Maybe my post had a wrong impression. It was meant to be against use of alcohol. Please read again. Even small quantity is bad what I meant and research was paid by the companies to fool people.

doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person to me, honestly at times he seems to be more educated than lots of people here especially understanding of “Quran” and here he is casting doubt on his own knowledge.

Re: Gatorade is HARAAM!

Friends does it really matter how much the amount of alcohol is in Gatorade or any other product, it is still haraam.
It is better to be safe then sorry, and avoid suspectable products.

Are you going to be avoiding orange juice too now?

That was freshly squeezed orange juice that contained over 300mg of alcohol in every litre, so that means fresh oranges have alcohol in them too.

Are you saying that oranges are haraam?

Re: Gatorade is HARAAM!

maddy, which "alochol" is present in Orange juice? Ethanol or Methanol? I think only one of them is known to cause intoxication.

Re: Gatorade is HARAAM!

What about Listerine?

Re: Gatorade is HARAAM!

I use Listerine. It's good. :biggthumb

Both are present. Orange juice has 8 times more ethanol in it than methanol. This can be seen in the link I gave earlier.

http://www.sweetpoison.com/articles/dr-woodrow-monte10.html

An exhaustive search of the present literature indicates that no testing of natural substances has ever shown methanol appearing alone; in every case ethanol is also present, usually, in much higher concentrations. Fresh orange juices can have very little methanol (0.8 mg/liter), and have a concomitant ethyl alcohol content of 380 mg/liter. Long term storage in cans has a tendency to cause an increase in these levels, but even after three years of storage, testing has revealed only 62 mg/liter of methanol, with an ethanol content of 484 mg/liter. This is a ratio of almost eight times ethanol/methanol. Testing done recently in Spain showed orange juice with 33 mg/liter methanol and 651 mg/liter ethanol (20/1 ratio). The range for grapefruit juices are similar, ranging form 0.2 mg methanol/liter to 43 mg methanol/liter. The lowest ratio or any food item was found in canned grapefruit sections with 50- 70 mg/liter methanol and 200-400 mg/liter ethanol, thus averaging six molecules ethanol for every molecule of methanol.

@saimanyc

What about Listerine?

Listerine is over 25% alcohol, making it stronger than beer. (http://www.straightdope.com/columns/050204.html)

You wouldn’t wash your mouth out with beer or wine and therefore I don’t wash mine out with Listerine.

Alcohol can be absorbed though the lining of your mouth. Therefore, I don’t use Listerine at all.

If drunk enough, it can intoxicate you since it is much more alcoholic than beer which does intoxicate.

I’ll take this opportunity to point out that Crest Pro-Health Rinse mouthwash is alcohol-free. You should all buy it instead of Listerine
