Scholarly Notes
Haraam as a beverage. As a solvent in trace amounts in flavorings, scholarly opinions differ: the Hanafi position generally prohibits it; contemporary scholars in IFANCA and many fatwa bodies permit trace solvent residues (below 0.1%) in non-alcoholic products. Seek halal-certified vanilla extract and flavorings to be safe.
