The Ruling on Drinking Cocktail Juice and the Claim of Prohibition Against Mixing Foods
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. Some people say that drinking cocktail juice is forbidden because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited mixing foods. What is the validity of this claim?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, I do not know what drink that is called? Huh?
The questioner:
Cocktail?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, I do not know it; this is the first time I have heard it. But as for what contains no intoxicant and nothing of khamr (intoxicants), the default ruling for drinks and foods is permissibility. Names have no bearing on the matter; the discussion concerns what is free of alcohol and khamr. If it is free of that, there is no harm in drinking it, unless it is harmful to health, as when doctors warn against it. Even if it is not intoxicating, if doctors warn against it and determine that it is harmful, it is not permissible to drink it? Yes.
