Is Maltesers Dark Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The unspecified flavour may use a tiny alcohol or other carrier, and the label does not identify it; an alcohol-free flavouring declaration would settle this.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki — their opinion: the trace transforms in processing, so it is allowed.
Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — they find it disliked because the carrier is unclear, so a clearly declared or alcohol-free flavouring is better.
