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. We will used this product at our country in culinary, for example sushi food.
