Halal Status of Foods Containing Mirin Analysis of The Rules of "Iżā Ijtama’a al-¬Ḥalāl wa al-Ḥarām Gulliba al-Ḥarām"

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the halal status of food containing mirin based on the principle of " Iżā Ijtama’a al-¬Ḥalāl wa al-Ḥarām Gulliba al-Ḥarām ". The methodology used is a normative juridical approach, examining the norms in Islamic law derived from the Qur'an, hadith, and the opinions of scholars. The research results show that the use of mirin as an ingredient in food is haram, both before and after cooking, even in very small amounts. This is due to the alcohol content in mirin, which falls into the category of khamar and is considered haram even if it does not cause intoxication in small amounts. This study emphasizes that any mixture of alcohol in food or drink remains prohibited according to Islamic law because of the intoxicating nature inherent in the substance. The contribution of this research is to provide a deeper understanding of Islamic legal principles regarding the use of food ingredients containing haram elements, serving as a guideline for the Muslim community in selecting and consuming food in accordance with Islamic law.
