This research touches on the field
of istihalah. In this era of globalization, all kinds of situations could
happen when we are out of the country. As Muslims, situations of halal and
haram would be of high concern. For example, one is out of the country and
requires vinegar or a drink but is then only presented with an alcoholic drink
(wine). Istihalah is the process of conversion from something haram to halal.
With the istihalah method, our product would be the solution, which changes the
wine to vinegar and a consumable drink. One of our main objectives is to widen
this field with the help of science and technology, furthermore, encourage
innovation among the young generation like us. Since there have not been any
previous findings regarding this topic, our product would be the very first
product to fully remove a haram substance from a compound, thoroughly changing
something haram to halal, thus, produce vinegar from white wine in applying the
concept istihalah. Muslims, especially in non-muslim countries, would no longer
have issues regarding the problem stated and reduce time and money in solving
it. This is because istihalah converts white wine to vinegar through a natural
process which is oxidation. Regarding this as scientific research, we would be
having experiments to make sure our hypothesis is correct, accepted and
relevant as well as to test out its abilities. With visits to 'Pejabat Mufti
Wilayah Persekutuan', we were able to categorize our product as either
istihalah sahihah or fasidah. Collaboration with Universiti Sains Islam
Malaysia (USIM) along with fellow researchers has been done to fulfill madhabs
requirements needed for this experiment such as the FTIR Machine, an electronic
pH meter, and an electronic shaker. When all the information and data are
collected, this thesis is then produced.
