Question ID 2643 Wednesday 1st of July 2015

Question:

Salaam Alaykum Maulana, Hope you are well. I wanted to ask a question which relates to an energy drink called Red Bull. Could you please advise if Red Bull is allowed to drink? I had heard many rumours that it contains taurine which may be derived from animal protein / elements. So I decided to approach you in relation to this. I kindly look forward to your response. Thanking you in advance. Jazakallah. Abbas

Answer:

If you have an evidence that any ingredient is taken from non Halal animal,
you must then avoid it. If you have no such evidence, it remains allowed. I
saw while researching the ingredients a statement from the manifacurers
saying thebtaurine is synthetic and not from animal source. Meanwhile,
there is another report suggesting that energy drinks contain bull semen.
Precaution is always good but in this case not compulsory.
