approximately 0.0065 % alcohol because of the presence of probiotic
enzymes that occur as the result of the fermentation process. It can
be bought from the store without showing ID, because it hardly
contains any alcohol worth mentioning. But I would like to know
whether it is permissible to drink it in Islam or not?.
Praise be to Allaah.
We have read a great deal about the benefits of the tea mentioned in
the question; the issue of its benefits should be referred to
specialists.
With regard to the amount of alcohol in this tea, it is a very low
amount that does not lead to drunkenness, hence drinking it is not
haraam because of that.
See the answer to question no. 60212in which there is an answer
concerning fermented tea.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Everything that is called water is pure and a means of purification,
whether some impurity has fallen into it or not, if it is known that
it has dissolved into it and disappeared. As for that in which traces
of impurity are apparent, it is haraam to use it, because it comes
under the heading of using something haraam. End quote.
Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 19/236, 237
He also said:
Allah has forbidden impure things (khabaa'ith), namely blood, dead
meat, pork and so on. If any of these things fall into water etc and
disappear, so there is no blood, dead meat or pork left at all,
similar to the case where alcohol disappears in a liquid, then the one
who drinks it is not drinking khamr. End quote.
Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 21/501, 502 .
Based on that, there does not seem to be anything wrong with drinking this tea.
And Allah knows best.
