Is it permissible to add the nutmeg to one`s food?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
Is it permissible to add the nutmeg to one`s food?

Answer:
Using a little bit of the nutmeg for seasoning is permissible, but using a great deal of it is impermissible since it could lead to intoxication, and Islam has forbidden all intoxicants and stupefacients.
