Ethanol/alcohol is khamr-class (intoxicant). Flat-HALAL was a cross-source false-HALAL the merge compiler surfaced and is corrected to MUSHBOOH to match the ingredient layer. strict treats industrial ethanol as najis/haram (Quran 5:90-91); lenient permits non-beverage technical residue. SANHA mashbooh-listed. Aggregation, not scholar-ratified; per-leg boundary founder/scholar-gated. reviewed_by_board=false.
