Halal drinks comply with Islamic dietary laws and do not contain alcohol or pork products. Cleanliness in preparation is important, and soft drinks may or may not be halal. Water, milk, and fruit/vegetable juices are generally halal, while alcohol and pork products are strictly forbidden. The equipment used in preparation and storage must also be halal.
Halal drinks are drinks that comply with certain dietary laws in the religion of Islam. Most drinks are halal provided they do not contain certain additives such as alcohol or pork products. Cleanliness in the preparation of drinks is also important. Types of halal drinks include water, milk, and fruit or vegetable juices. Soft drinks may or may not be halal depending on specific processing standards.
Individuals in the Islamic faith typically follow a set of spiritual laws and customs known as sharia. As such, a wide variety of behaviors and objects are considered halal or haram. The first word refers to something that is permitted, while haram refers to those things that are illegal under the sharia. Decisions on this distinction often depend on the discretion of a mujthahid, and decisions are generally derived from sacred texts such as the Quran.
Food and drink is a common area of concern for people who practice sharia. An individual should be familiar with what is not allowed in order to better understand what is allowed. For example, the consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden, and any product containing even slight traces of pork or clawed birds is also haram. Some parts of the animals are also restricted, including blood and marrow. Furthermore, the equipment used in the preparation of the products and the methods of storing these products must be halal and not contaminated by haram substances.
Therefore, processed drinks such as soft drinks may or may not be considered halal drinks. If the methods of preparation and storage are considered sanitary, the drinks would be considered halal. Cleaning includes not only equipment and storage considerations, but also sanitizing the general environment and keeping workers clean. For example, working conditions that contain dirt or vermin would make the products of this environment harmful, as would unhealthy or unhealthy employees. The specific ingredients used in processed drinks must also be halal.
Water is perhaps the most widespread and basic drink for mankind and most forms of this vital substance are halal drinks. The exceptions are if the water is polluted in any way or if it is mixed with substances considered haram. Otherwise, this natural substance is allowed.
The same considerations apply to beverages deriving from vegetable products. In general, any type of plant or product is halal, with the exception of the aforementioned pork products and clawed bird products. Thus, fruit or vegetable drinks – including fruit juices – would mostly be acceptable as halal drinks.
Dairy products such as milk form another main category of drinks and in most cases these liquids are considered halal drinks. If the milk is taken from an animal that is considered halal such as a cow, it is usually allowed to drink it. Exceptions may occur if the milk-producing animal has regularly suckled the milk of a haram animal such as a pig. Mixing the drink with prohibited substances like alcohol would also harm its halal status.
