Is Balsamic Vinegar/Vinaigrette Dressing Halal?
Any thing which intoxicates in large quantity is prohibited in small quantity as well. However, if that product goes through a chemical transformation so that it removes its intoxication effect, then it would no longer be considered prohibited. Secondly, any intoxicants present in a product such that that they do not intoxicate a person when the product is consumed in large quantities, such a product would also be Halal to consume. Ghamidi Sahab considers transformation of wine into vinegar a change of chemical composition and hence perfectly fine to consume. If Balsamic Vinegar is any different from regular vinegar then you can study the case in the light of the above mentioned principles.
