Frequently asked questions
- Is Malt beer halal?
- Verdict: haram. Malt beer: made like an alcoholic drink, even without alcohol.
- Why can the verdict change?
- Because certification bodies do not always agree, and because the label does not always say where an ingredient comes from. Midad shows what is certain, what depends on your criterion and what the label does not say.
- Is this a certification?
- No. Midad reads the name of an ingredient and compares it with a base of cited rules. A certification is asked of the producer; a religious ruling, of a qualified person.
