I saw my elder brother drinking A&W root beer and when I asked him why he was drinking it, he replied that it is non-alcoholic, and just a regular soda, that is why it is present in the Soda Section in Randall’s.
I wanted to make sure if he is doing the right thing. Anyone who has an insight about Islam, please help me!!! 😀

I’m a muslim and has been drinking root beer all my life. It is considered as soft drink & does not contain alcohol or any other haram substance. Even though previously root beer does contain alcohol, but todays root beer does not anymore.

Root beer IS non-alcoholic. Sure I am not Muslim, but I do know what I drink. There is even ginger ale which is another alcohol-sounding drink when it is clearly also non-alcoholic and a soda.

Root beer is like ginger ale or ginger beer- its got the word like alcohol but its not alcohol. The flavor is kind of licorice-like or anise-like. Its not alcoholic at all, and often doesn’t even have caffeine.

Root Beer is definitely non-alcoholic, especially from A&W. It’s just carbonated water and artificial flavors.

he is right root beer isn’t beer it’s just a soda. But you are a good brother for not arguing with him and seeking help to make sure he is not committing sins unknowingly.

i have been instructed by technique of many a Muslim acquaintance that once one can’t discover nutrients it rather is deemed Halal, one settles for Kashrut, considering the fact that Jewish nutritional rules are stricter than Islamic ones (Jews can’t blend meat with dairy, they couldn’t have shellfish, shrimp, etc). i have also been instructed by technique of those similar Muslim friends that the in simple terms exception is meat, with understand to way of slaughter (Jews do not face the animal in the route of Mecca and say that diverse prayer at latest of slaughter). yet this relies upon on how non secular you’re.
