Q: Is it permissible to drink non-alcoholic drinks (0% alcohol) which have the same name as traditional alcohols and are branded similar to the original alcoholic drink. The reason I ask is because there are many of these drinks now. E.g. There is a drink called "Lager" which has the name, logo and appearance of the original alcoholic drink but is non-alcoholic.
Q: I am a student who went home for lockdown. My electricity had tripped approximately 15 hours prior to my return. My freezer stuff was not frozen, however it was room temperature and I now have doubts whether I can give it away to someone else as I am not sure if its okay for consumption. I know it is sinful and wasteful to throw away food and it is also sinful to give away food that you would not eat yourself. What do I do?

Q: I recently contacted a company called Arnott's to find out whether one of their chocolate filling biscuit products, 'TimTam' was halaal and this was their response:
"Small amounts of alcohol based flavours (like vanilla essence) are added to sweet biscuits. We know alcohol is sensitive to heat and we believe the alcohol is evaporated during baking, but there is a slight possibility that trace amounts could still be present in the finished product."
Is this biscuit halaal?
