Q: I have heard that soft drinks contain some amount of alcohol. I contacted one of the companies, they replied it is halaal. So please could you tell me if it is still permissible to consume soft drinks?
A: If you have great confidence in their words you may follow them.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
