Alcohol essence is used in cakes.
What is alcohol essence, from what is it derived and is it permitted for Muslim consumption (Halaal) ?
Answer
Jazâkumullâh Khairan for your email correspondence and for the opportunity to be of service to you. We advise as follows:

The alcohol normally used in food essence is not of the Khamr Asli category and its use as a carrier / solvent in the essence is condoned.
