Question

Can you drink a pina colada?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Pina colada is a sweet cocktail made with rum, cream of coconut or coconut milk, and pineapple juice.[i]

If the Pina colada contains alcohol or rum then it will not be permissible to drink.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
