Request to verify that the barley beverage found in the markets is free of alcohol

Question:
Regarding the beer found in the markets, I heard through one of the pharmacists that it contains a percentage of alcohol. Therefore, we ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and then we ask Your Eminence, to entrust this matter to one of the laboratories to analyze it and verify this. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The Council has investigated this issue. We, the scholars, have discussed this with the authorities, and they decided that there is nothing in it that prevents drinking it. This refers to the beer in your country, which has a bank seal on it; it is said to be pure, and there is nothing in it that prevents drinking it. As for what is in foreign countries, it has been reported that it may contain some alcohol, so it should be avoided and one should be cautious of it. As for this one, we have done what was required and tested it. The authorities and experts, through the Ministry of Health and some universities, informed us that it is pure. The result is that what has been verified for us is that it is pure and that there is nothing in it that prevents drinking it, in this beer that is in this country. Yes.
