Question:
Does erythritol break a fast?
Answer:
In The Name Of Allah, The Most-Merciful, The Most Kind
Erythritol is a type of sugar alcohol. Erythritol occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods, while manufacturers add an industrially fermented version to low sugar and sugar-free food and drink options.
With this being said it will break the fast. Anything that is edible and consumed in liquid or solid form knowingly will break the fast. [1]
