Q: I have seen red wine vinegar used in many salsas. Is it permissible to consume red/white wine vinegar? I have heard vinegar is Halaal, but the word “wine” puts doubts in mind.
A: Haamidaw wa Musalliyaa
Red wine vinegar is permissible to consume. Vinegar is traditionally made when wine is converted to vinegar.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
