Food and Drink

Q: I wanted to inquire about the drinking of flowing blood being haraam! If a person checks his sugar, pokes bimself for the blood to be released and
thereafter sucks the remaining blood from his finger, is this constituted as haraam?

Q: I have a question regarding a traditional drink called (kava or yogona/yoqona) usually from the parts of the South Pacific like Fiji islands. The drink is made of a root plant mixed with water and drank socially. It can make you dizzy, numb, and it has intoxication as well. But it looks like a lot of Muslims from that region still drink it, even the ones that are punctual in their prayers and go in jamaat. What is the ruling on this drink? Again I'm not sure if you came across this question before? There is a community of brothers who drink this often and does not think it is forbidden and I have seen them drink a lot and sometimes they can't even walk after having quite a bit of the drink. Please looks into this and tell me so the brothers can know the truth regarding this drink.

Q: Many companies are said to be mixing haram items in their products and many codes like E codes are said to be haram. What should be done with these news? Are they haram or halal or mushtabah?

Q: What is the meaning of istihalah when something najis becomes pure? Like gelatin from pork?

Q: Is fat from pigs najas if it is already chemically converted to glycerin or stearic acid?

Q: Does Istihalah make najas things pure? Especially, when fat from pig is altered chemically and used in beauty creams?

Q: It is sunnah to eat one meal a day. But the method of meal is (any of the regular occasions in a day when a reasonably large amount of food is eaten) and so in my breakfast I only eat a bowl of cereal or 2 toast with milk so is it considered a meal because it is less than lunch or dinner and it's not a reasonably large amount?
