Description
Fatwa on Coke and All Soft Drinks
Few food questions are asked as often by Muslims as “is Coke halal?” Scholars and certification bodies have given different answers. Fatwa on Coke & All Soft Drinks presents one of them: the position of the Majlisul Ulama of South Africa, a council of Muslim scholars, which holds that Coca-Cola and other soft drinks are not permissible. The cover quotes the hadith on which the council relies: “Whatever intoxicates in a large quantity, even its little quantity is forbidden.”
If you want to read the Majlisul Ulama’s fatwa in its own words and understand how the council reaches its conclusion, this booklet gives you that.
