Is cough syrup haram?

Are cough syrups containing alcohol haram?

Even if you're sick?

  • try and find one that isnt, if you cant then say bismillah before you use it

  • I am so glad I'm not Muslim. If you're taking cough syrup for the purpose of reveling a cough, then do so; cough syrup is not a beverage. I can understand if it is an alcoholic drink, but medicine, come on.

  • If you're concerned, there are pills that contain all the same active ingredients as cough syrup without the alcohol.

  • I'm not Muslim, but if it troubles your conscience why not use a cough syrup that doesn't contain alcohol? The alcohol added to cough syrup doesn't help your cough, it just helps you sleep. You don't really need it.

  • Because it is not for enjoyment and does not intoxicate you (assuming that you are going to drink only a little) then I say it is halal. But I am no imaam so maybe you should ask someone with more knowledge on Islam?

  • I'm pretty sure that if something contains alcohol and isn't used for pleasure and enjoyment, and doesn't get you intoxicated then it is permitted.

  • If it has alcohol in it then yes it is haram

    Look at the first sister, I don't think so she says... WHAT THE HELL DOES SHE THINK THEN? Astugfarallah

  • @Ethan
