Question

Assalaamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh, dear Maulana. I would like to ask regarding soy sauce whether it is permissible to use it Jazak Allah khayran.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer

It is difficult to declare all kinds of soy sauce either permissible or impermissible. If it is not prepared using alcohol, OR it is prepared using alcohol and the alcohol does not originate from dates or grapes, it will be permissible.

Only Allah knows best
