Ruling on drinking Coca Cola
Question I have been told by one of my friend that drinking coke is haram because if we see it in mirror the way its been written it becomes “LA ALLAH LA MUHAMMED” witch means no ALLAH no Muhammad, and she says who ever drinks it is not a Muslim, please kindly let me know…
Question
Praise be to Allah.
What has been said about
Coca Cola, that there is written on it the words “La Allaah la Muhammad” or
“La Muhammad la Makkah” and that this can be seen by looking at the writing
in a mirror, is not true, so there is no shar’i ruling that follows from
that.
You should keep away from
over exaggerations and illusions that have no basis.
Any food or drink that is
proven to be harmful is haraam, but if there is no such proof then the basic
ruling is that they are halaal, and they cannot be deemed haraam on the
basis of mere conjecture and speculation.
But if the company that
produces it is hostile to Islam and supports its enemies, then it should be
boycotted for that reason.
And Allaah knows best.
