Is Korean Hot Pepper Sauce Halal?
MUSHBOOH
Distilled alcohol is listed in this Korean sauce, but the label does not clarify whether it remains in the finished product or is only a flavouring carrier.
Hanafi, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — Allowed: their opinion is that a trace too small to intoxicate does not carry the ruling of wine, so it is allowed.
