QUESTION:

	What is the ruling on non-alcoholic beer? I have seen different
versions of the aforementioned, in some, as stated on the bottle, there is
about 5% alcohol, and in some, no alcohol (which according to them means
less than 1%). can we drink such a beer? I know that is has lots of
benefits and is good for body and organism, but the question is, does the
low rate of alcohol in it make them halal for muslims?! 


ANSWER:

In The Name of The Most High;

As long as there is any trace of alcohol in any beverage, it is haraam to 
drink.
