Is Soy Sauce Halal or Haram?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I have recently found out naturally brewed Soy Sauce contains alcohol. I am confused as I don’t believe Soy Sauce is an intoxicant, however there are fatwas saying it is Halal and people saying it is Haram. Can you advise?

Bismillaah

A: If it is proven that it is an intoxicant then intoxicants are not halaal.

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