QUESTION

Are Sugar alcohols permissible? If sorbitol is used in a cake is it permissible?

ANSWER

As the said alcohol is not made from date or grape extract and nor is it intoxicating in a large or small quantity, thus in terms of its usage and consumption, it is considered as permissible.

And Allah knows best.
