Question
Sorbitol is sugar alcohol. Is this alcohol permissible? A Mufti says that according to Imaam Abu Hanifah (Rahmatullah alayh) and Imaam Abu Yusuf (Rahmatullah alayh) all nongrape alcohols are permissible. Please comment.
Answer
The „mufti‟ is stupid. The Fatwa of all four Math-habs is on prohibition. Sorbitol and all kinds of alcohols are haraam according to all Four Mathhabs. Just ignore the technical and academic discussions and differences. Academical technicalities are generally antique and not for practical implementation.
