@BonsaiSky jazakhallah kiron brother! This helped me a lot. I asked this question today and my hubby wanted to buy a piece of cake from the bakery that had alcohol in it and i was like it is not going to make you drunk ----lol and it is all burned of when they cook it. So I guess then I will tell him he cant have it! Darn it looked so good why cant they just make the same thing with one less thing. Gee Wizzz........

"if it intoxicates in a large amount, it is forbidden even in a small amount." Yes.... but the question is: In the case of food cooked with alcohol, especially simmered for a long time, such boeff bourguignon (in which a full bottle of red wine is indispensable, yet it cooks for several hours), Can you eat enough of it to get drunk?

My mom gives me hell for making food with alcohol all the time... but the rest of my family loves it and no one got tipsy from the food.

@BonsaiSky Thank you for giving me such a detailed answer. It is really interesting all that information as I had no idea. WOW! So may who are avid against alcohol but will cook with it really don't realise that they are still consuming alcohol. Your information has been a REAL eye-opener. This has been most helpful. I will definitely not use it even in cooking. :-)

The our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh )instructed us, to avoid any intoxicating substances -- Hadith-- saying in translation "if it intoxicates in a large amount, it is forbidden even in a small amount." for this reason, most observant Muslims avoid alcohol in any form, even small amounts that are sometimes used in cooking. and Allah knows best.

@BonsaiSky And of course, we should always take the advise of our beloved Prophet (pbuh) that if there is any doubt, it's best to avoid it to be on the safe side.

@BonsaiSky It is only if you simmer the mixture for two or more hours, (as you would with a wine-based beef casserole), that as little as five to 10 per cent of the original alcohol content remains."

And Allah knows best.
