when i eating Chocolate Chip Cookie, my sister just read the back of the box for ingredients. it contains natural vanilla extract :bummer:. vanilla is usually put for flavour, other it has nothing to do with the actual making of the cookies (why do they put it…arghhh…i know i know otherwise it would spell like egg)
I googled it the following site and it says vanilla extract is haram: Login - Radarr
but it also says
"ISLAMIC SCHOLARS’ VIEW ON THIS TOPIC:
Some Islamic Scholars considered a non Halal food product if it is made with flavor containing alcohol as a solvent. But the others considered it Halal because they said the small or large quantity of the product does not intoxicate a person. Please consult your Sheik or Imam on this topic ".
i know cookies in general really bad for the health, but i dont eat like two or three in a week.
I think i have no choice left then to throw it away, cuz by the time i will find scholar they will be moist and all.
People should worry about bigger things, like do they fulfil the 5 basic tenets of Islam, rather than focusing on minute details such as an ingredient that probably makes up 0.01% of a whole product.
someone once asked me if it is halal chocolate that I was eating...I was like huhn.
Or some people won't go to the CPK coz they bake bacon pizza in the same oven.
I mean , I respect the religious sentiments of other people but thats plain Loco.

maroush, what if the person do fulfil the 5 basic tenets of Islam.
i strongly belief theres need to be more research or may be in my case awareness required on the quantity of any ingredient used. I am sure we all want to eat healthy Halal food.
shudda given the food to a homeless person or fed to the animals instead of wasting it and incurring perhaps more gunah than the accidental-maybe-minute-quantities-of-alcohol. but hey, who am i to say anything.
omg...you can buy a large bottle of vanilla extract, slug it down and not have the slightest effect because the amount of alcohol is so minute. Also, heat destroys the alcohol, it cooks off.
If its still a problem, hey man, I will eat the cookies. All of em.
