Is Korean Hot Pepper Paste Halal?
MUSHBOOH
This hot pepper paste lists spirit, an alcohol-based flavour carrier; an alcohol-free or plain flavouring declaration would settle the concern.
Hanafi, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: the trace cannot intoxicate, so it is allowed.
Shafi, Maliki — their opinion: any liquid intoxicant remains impermissible, or the alcohol-based flavouring makes the food impure, so it should be avoided.
