I have received a box of chocolates as a gift. One of the ingredients is Alcohol….

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I have received a box of chocolates as a gift. One of the ingredients is Alcohol.

Please advise if I should throw away the chocolates or is it permissible to give them to a Non Muslim  

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is not permissible to give any consumable item containing haraam ingredients to anyone, including non-Muslims. In fact, the Shari’ah has instructed us that Haraam food cannot be given to any creation, not even to animals. One should totally discard and dispose of such items.
