Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 152/138/D=1431)

Eating food cooked in wine is not allowed, for when wine was mixed in food it got impure. Now it cannot be pure. And it is not right to say that after reaching a certain temperature its contents evaporate hence it should be lawful; because due to cooking food in wine its impurity became stable and now it cannot be removed.

إذا صب الطباخ في القدر مكان الخل خمرا غلطا فالكل نجس لا يطهر أبدا . (الهندية: ج:1/ص:27)

والطبخ لا يؤثر فيها لأنه للمنع من ثبوة الحرمة لا لرفعها بعد تبوتها. (شامي:ج:2/ص:29)
