Question
Sorbitol is sugar alcohol. Is this alcohol permissible? A Mufti says that according to Imaam Abu Hanifah (Rahmatullah alayh) and Imaam Abu Yusuf (Rahmatullah alayh) all non-grape alcohols are permissible. Please comment.
Answer
The 'mufti' is stupid. The Fatwa of all four Math-habs is on prohibition. Sorbitol and all kinds of alcohols are haraam according to all Four Math-habs. Just ignore the technical and academic discussions and differences. Academical technicalities are generally antique and not for practical implementation.
