Question: What is the ruling on drinking Pepsi, Kanadah [an orange soda] and beer?
Answer: “As for beer, then it is known that it is an intoxicant. Some people who cannot find intoxicants drink it according to what I was informed of.
As for Pepsi and Kanadah, it is said by some that it was analyzed and pig fat was found in it. However, the origin is permissibility until affirmed by a doctor from the Muslim doctors who is knowledgeable about this. Otherwise, the origin is permissibility. Allah say:
خلق لكم ما في الأرض جميعاً
He it is Who created for you all that is on earth.
[2:29]
And also His statement:
كلوا من طيبات ما رزقناكم
Eat of the good lawful things We have provided for you
[2:57]”
