In His name The Most High
with regards to the "energy drink" red bull" there were some queries which came up recently.
Professor Karim Manji had said in the mosque that it contains 0.05% of alcohol which gives the right to the producers not to include it in the ingredients.
and various other sources(reliable) have told me it is permissible. in many shia communities around the world it is labelled "Legal".
Personally i used to have it during my exams especailly MATHS!!lol..since i have heard the contradiction i have substituted with coffe..
when i try to discuss with others it is taken as a joke or a thing which is wrong..
can some1 enlighten us in this regards

Wkipedia says the Ingredients are

Water, sucrose, glucose, acidifier sodium citrates, carbon dioxide, taurine (0.4%), glucuronolactone (0.24%), caffeine (0.03%), inositol, vitamins (niacin, pantothenic acid, B6, B12), flavourings, and colours (caramel, riboflavin).

right to producers NOT to include in its ingredients

caffiene which is 0.03% is included, why shouldnt lcohol be included too?

freedom of choice..

Apparently Coke is Haraam but Red Bull is allowed...

Always so sarcastic.

I havent said Redbull is allowed. All I say s that it may not contain alcohol, unlike coca cola.

So what you are saying is Redbull doesn’t contain alcohol and Coca Cola does

Not me, the enyclopedia.

Check out coca cola and red bull on wikipedia.

alcohol in coca cola? coz anyone can edit wikipedia...so no 1 can b sure of any information in there.

Exactly

Anybody can edit wikipedia, but some articles are locked. And there is always a backup which is used if some prankster tries to edit the info. The prankster is also blocked from editing any further documents.

so how can we know if they havent blocked the ingredients of red bull section?

So are you still holding onto your fantasy that coke contains alcohol

Qarrar, I see no point in arguing with you because I can see you dont want to accept the truth.
