Question:
A questioner asks: In these days, warnings have spread about certain products and goods, such as carbonated drinks, regarding the harm they contain, and that they are of Jewish manufacture.
Answer:
The default ruling for drinks is permissibility, unless it is established that they contain something forbidden, such as alcohol or other forbidden substances. If this is established, they are not to be used. However, as long as nothing has been established, the default is permissibility. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to borrow from the Jews, and he bought and sold with the Jews. Dealing with them in worldly matters is fine. Yes.
