Certain glazed donuts have ethyl alcohol in the sugars, the same alcohol found in fruits and vegetables. Once these donuts are cooked the ethyl alcohol content is .02%. Are these donuts halal? Also, please provide a dua for happiness. JazakhAllah Khair.
Answer:
In principle, if any alcohol is not from grape or date extract, it is permissible, if it does not intoxicate. Hence the donuts containing ethyl Alcohol will be halaal.
