The Ruling on False Juice Advertising
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: There is a domestic beverage, a juice sold in shops, and this phrase is written on it: "When the forces of evil and darkness gather to control the world, Hani sets out to defend justice and defeat the villains. Hani is a fantastic boy who derives his strength from his juice, which contains a mixture of natural fruits and vitamins. Take a dose of his distinctive juice to increase your strength and help him in his adventures."
Answer:
This is advertising for this juice, and the advertising by these companies and factories for their products consists of many varied advertisements. This is false advertising and mockery. The juice itself is permissible, provided it does not contain a forbidden substance or is an intoxicant. It is simply fruit juice with no intoxicating effect, so it falls under the category of permissible things. Leave this talk alone; it is merely advertising for this juice, and it is false and invalid advertising.
