Question:
Honorable Shaykh, beer is sold in the markets of Muslims, and it contains a quantity of intoxicating substance. What is the method of warning those who sell it?
Answer:
It is necessary to establish that it contains a quantity of alcohol. If this is established, it must be prohibited. However, they say it contains no alcohol, and there are factories that... quality and... a government body, under the Ministry of Trade, is responsible for testing these items and ruling on whether they contain [alcohol] or not. If it contains [alcohol], it is prohibited; if it contains nothing, it is permitted. The Standards and Quality Authority is responsible for this. But whoever knows of something like this should point it out and write to the authorities if he is certain of it.
