Q: Can we eat biscuits and ice cream in which all the ingredients are halal but as a artificial flavouring- vanilla is used? I'm in a confusion because some scholars say vanilla is Haram due to presence of 37% of alcohol in it....and some says that we can't feel the presence of alcohol & in which we does not feel the alcoholic thing we can eat it...what should I do?
Q: My wife made rotis yesterday and placed them in a container. When they were cool she covered them. We had rotis for supper last night. After esha, when I was in the kitchen, I saw a mouse eating from a wrapped left-over sandwich. Later, I put the roti container in the fridge. After fijar, my wife took out the roti container from the fridge. She saw mice droppings or "stools" on the side of rotis in the container.
1. What do we do with the rotis?
2. What do we do if we have a mice problem?
Q: I would like to enquire whether we can trust MJC and NIHT. Reason being there seems to be a lot of doubt with these as compared to SANHA. It makes me wonder how all the meat supplied to Mc Donalds and KFC can be halaal as there is a lot of animals that would be slaughtered and to slaughter an animal in compliance with shariah takes more time and care so how do we know that these animals are being slaughtered accordingly?

Q: I just found out that most sodas contain some alcohol. The company for Canada Dry said "the amounts are very slight, but still present." Now these sodas with the same brand are being sold in Muslim countries so I'm assuming 0.0071% alcohol (the amount in a Fanta orange soda) in a drink is permissible. But just to be sure, is it really halal or is that a matter of debate?
Q: Recently, I found out that it is likely that most cheeses in fritolay snacks contain rennet from animals slaughtered in a haram manner. Does that make the cheese haram too? I'm confused about this because I used to get those snacks in the masjid when I was younger.
Q: I have been notified that some breads, pizzas, etc. has e920 in its ingredients. I have searched it up and it means it has human hair. What is the masala regarding this?
