Is Vanilla Kefir Halal?
HALAL
It contains vanilla extract, traditionally made with alcohol, and the label does not confirm an alcohol-free flavouring; that declaration would settle it.
Hanafi, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: the remaining trace cannot intoxicate, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki — their opinion: Shafi does not allow liquid intoxicants, while Maliki considers alcohol-carried flavouring to make food impure, so it should be avoided.
