The ruling on drinking beer that contains a percentage of alcohol

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on drinking imported beer, which contains a small percentage of alcohol?

Answer:
If it is established that it contains a percentage of alcohol such that a large amount of it intoxicates, it is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whatever a lot of it intoxicates, a little of it is unlawful.ما أسكر كثيرُه فقليله حرام
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1865Hasan (Darussalam)
. So, if it is established that in the beer or anything else there is a part such that a large amount of it intoxicates, it is forbidden. What has reached us is that the beer in these lands contains nothing. If it is established that it contains something of that which intoxicates in large amounts, it is forbidden.
