Drinks which contain traces of alcohol

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Minute alcohol is present in some drinks like 0.52% or something, something that will not intoxicate, no matter how much is drunk. Then if it doesn’t intoxicate then what is the issue with it? I ask inquisitively, thank you. Of course I don’t support alcohol being used at all, but the end product is not our doing.

Bismillaah

A: Taqwa and the higher levels of righteousness requires that one also refrains from this.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
