I am in need of urgent clarification. I was told Apple Cider Vinegar has many health benefits and have been wanting to try it for some time but i am worried if it is Halal or not?
I understand wine and alcohol are haram but is vinegar? Specifically is Apple Cider Vinegar Halal?
Thank you for your time and help

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Vinegar is not only halāl, the Prophet صلىاللهعليهوسلمeven praised it.
حدثنىعبداللهبنعبدالرحمنالدارمىأخبرنايحيىبنحسانأخبرناسليمانبنبلالعنهشامبنعروةعنأبيهعنعائشةأنالنبىصلىاللهعليهوسلمقالنعمالأدمأوالإدامالخل
(صحيحمسلم،كتابالأشربة،بابفضيلةالخلوالتأدمبه: 6/125؛الجيل)
The Prophet صلىاللهعليهوسلمsaid, “How great of a condiment is vinegar” (Muslim)
And Allah knows best
Wassalaamu `alaykum
