a sprite is a kind of Djinn, so that would be haram.

Sprite and Seven Up are same so I would consider them both haraam..?

It is a big deal regarding his/her faith if a drink that he wants to drink is haram..

First and foremost, I can do whatever I want (Stop making a big deal out of it)
I can do whatever I want (If you want it, drink it) but there will be a punishment so shut up, and piss off

What ingredient would any soft drink have in it that's haram anyway? Pork? :lol: Anyway, I can't think of anything.. Just Google it

Update: They're all fine, you might've be weary of Red Bull and Irn Bru, but they just contain caffeine, which is halal

I've tried to google it, but all the answers are not good enough and there not recent, there could be traces of Alcohol/Haraam Gelatine

Relentless is definitely haraam, not basing this on anything scriptural for now but Mohammed would have definitely denounced it as haraam if he tried it because that stuff tastes like ****.
Salaam.

I dont think any of these are haraam, they do not contain any traces of gelatine or alcohol.

You can just check the ingredients of each drink. The popular ones like Pepsi, Coke, Fanta, Sprite don't have anything of the sort in them

Depends in what country they're made in (Muslim Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran etc etc they're drinks are halal) I'm unsure if these drinks are also halal in United Kingdom

They are, they have the same ingredients :colonhash:

Why would they put gelatine in a drink, gelatine is meant to add a jelly-like/chewy texture..

And there isn't any alcohol: if you look at the ingredients of a can of any soft drink in your local shop, why would they do so? It would be illegal to sell to minors then..

First of all, are you a non muslim? Secondly, Gelatine can be haraam and halal, Some drinks have VERY SMALL TRACES OF ALCOHOL yet it's still haraam

ANNOUNCEMENT MUSLIMS AND EVERYONE: I BELIEVE COCA COLA IS HARAAM AND SOME OTHER PRODUCTS MADE BY COCA COLA COMPANY ARE ALSO HARAAM IN THE UNITED KINGDOM!
I will look into/research more into this to fix an answer!
just drink water ffs it's better for you instead of worrying about whether what you're drinking is haraam

Why should that matter?

I am aware.

If there is alcohol, it will say so on the ingredients list. There is absolutely no motivation to put a small dose of alcohol in a drink that is served to people of all ages, especially without disclosure as that would be illegal. Where are you hearing this anyway?
