In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful

Answer:

Two successive microbial processes produce vinegar-

  1. An alcoholic fermentation (which is Haraam).
  2. An oxidation of alcohol by aceto bacter, when it’s molecular structure is changed and it ceases to be an intoxicant.

Other varieties of vinegar are produced from beetroot, tarragon and alcoholic spirits. In vinegar the intoxicating factor is destroyed by the microbial process of oxidation and, therefore, it becomes permissible (i.e. halal). (Muslim Food Guide – Page 26/27)

In conclusion, food which contain white wine vinegar (produced by oxidation of alcohol) will be permissible.

Allah knows best.

Sir, almost three months back myself and my wife we were staying alone in Bahrain just before ramadan we both had a big fight and that time she was in her monthly cycle in fact the matter was out of hands and we beat each other were totally out of control mentally and physically as well and in anger she first gave Talaq to me by taking Allah as Gawah to which i also get anger and called her parents in India and inform the same and then called my family as well and was talking to them and they tried to console both of us but we never stopped during that time she was still shouting at me and using bad language and I the highest level of my anger talking to my mummy and Bahbi I said i take you (bhabi) as gawah and divorce her (thrice) all at once* which I even doesn’t recollect it and my bhabi says I said it thrice.   After 3 days she went to India and since then she is staying at her house and both of us are not in physical contact since then. But we talk once in a while. and willing to come back to each other and since that day till today have not talked about divorce at all nor she remembers the incident and she has not inform her parents about it as well.   My question to you sir is does my Talaq counts or not under this conditions. As I am confused have ref to so many fatwas and everywhere its different.   And secondly if you’re really out of our mind and pronounced divorce without knowing the consequences of it does it counts.  In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
