Is Purified water Halal?

The Ingredient Breakdown

When determining if a product is Halal, we look beyond the main ingredient and analyze every additive. For Purified Water, the base is simply water that has been mechanically filtered or processed to remove impurities and minerals. This process is inherently Halal. The additives listed—Potassium Bicarbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Calcium Citrate, Sodium Chloride, and Magnesium Oxide—are all mineral salts.

These mineral salts are synthesized in a laboratory or mined from the earth. They are inorganic compounds and do not originate from animals. Sodium Chloride is simply table salt. Magnesium Oxide is a mineral supplement. Calcium Citrate is a form of calcium derived from citric acid and calcium carbonate. None of these ingredients are considered 'Najis' (impure) or derived from forbidden sources like pork or alcohol. Therefore, the formulation is clean from a Halal perspective.

Nutritional Value

From a nutritional standpoint, this product is essentially zero-calorie. Purified Water has 0 calories, 0g of sugar, 0g of fat, and 0g of protein. The added minerals are trace amounts intended to improve taste or add electrolytes, not to contribute significantly to your daily caloric intake. Because it contains no sugar or fat, it fits easily into any diet, including weight loss plans or diabetic management plans. It is essentially a hydration vehicle with a slightly enhanced mineral profile.
