\n\tIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer: <\/u><\/b><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the Hanafi Madhhab, alcohols are divided into 2 groups ‘Khamr’ and ‘non-Khamr.’ Khamr refers to alcohol derived from dates and grapes, while non-khamr is alcohol not derived from any of these two.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the Hanafi school of Fiqh, the ruling regarding Khamr is that even the smallest amount is haraam, whether it intoxicates or not.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t‘Non-khamr’ alcohols are har\u0101m if and when:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1. Consumed in a quantity that may intoxicate. (Thus, a small amount insufficient for intoxication is not haram.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2. Used as a recreational drink, such as those consumed by sinful people. (Thus, beer and all other liquors are haram in any quantity, even if less than the amount that intoxicates)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf the non-khamr alcohol is used for other purposes, such as in medicines, certain food products, etc, and not in a quantity or aim to intoxicate, then it is permissible as long as it does not intoxicate.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe point that jurists mentioned: " if something taken in a large quantity is an intoxicant then it is Haram even in a small quantity" applies, in Hanafi methodology, primarily to Khamr and recreational alcoholic beverages, as well as recreational drugs.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tTherefore there is no harm in consuming the alcohol in vanilla extract and there is no amount restriction.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
