PIZZA EATEN
You don't have to make Istighfaar for blowing the legs off Israeli babies, but Allah ta'ala help you if your pizza pie's been made with red wine vinegar. It's vinegar, you idiots, vinegar!

He ruled previously that a bit of funbag action was OK, but how about these circumstances?

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at December 10, 2003 at 10:15 PMI may be ignorant here -- but then again, I don't go around issuing fatwas on how people should live; doesn't the alcohol get boiled off?
Posted by: Bob71 at December 11, 2003 at 01:15 AMWho uses vinegar making pizza?
Yeah, ahhh I like some garlic on it... and some pepperoni... and ahhh... heaps of vinegar.
Nah, screw that basalmic stuff. Got any red wine vinegar? Poifect!
Oh, and a pitcher of beer with that too. Thanks pal.
I may be ignorant here -- but then again, I don't go around issuing fatwas on how people should live; doesn't the alcohol get boiled off?
No boiling involved.
The sugar in the grape juice is converted into alcohol by enzymes,
then the alcohol reacts with air to form acetic acid.
So, no alcohol in vinegar.
Vinegar is often distilled.
This is to make it stonger (raise the acidity level), not to get rid of the alcohol.
