Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: We are young men living in England, and one of the shaykhs came to us, so we asked him about the matter that confused us there, and we differed among ourselves, and many of us were not at ease with his fatwa. The question here is that most of the foods and drinks contain a little of the khamr (intoxicants) and fat and pork fat, and these foods are daily for us. Then the shaykh issued a fatwa that they are permissible if the khamr or the pork fat has gone, and its effect, taste, and smell have disappeared from these foods. So we ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to clarify this matter.
Answer:
Yes, if the forbidden thing goes, if the forbidden thing goes and no trace of it remains, then it has no existence. If no trace remains, no taste, no smell, and no other trace, then it has gone and there is no ruling for it. Yes.
