Is Lifetones Acid Clear permissible for Muslims with gout?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I suffer with gout and there is a Liquid Medication available (Lifetones Acid Clear) which contains Alcohol derived from Sugar Cane. 30 drops of the medication has to be taken in half a glass of water. Is it permissible to take this medication? The package insert states that the water can be boiled to 100 degrees Celcius and then the drops can be added to the boiling water therby evaporating the Alcohol, however while travelling this might not always be possible.

Bismillaah

A: Look for other halaal alternatives to treat the problem. However, if there is no other halaal alternative available, then it may be used.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
