Kombucha is a fermented tea that naturally contains small amounts of alcohol (typically 0.5-3%). Most scholars consider beverages with any alcohol content to be haram, even if not intoxicating. Some halal scholars allow it if the alcohol level is negligible and non-intoxicating. This is a debated topic.

Kombucha is classified as mushbooh (doubtful) because some of its ingredients may come from either halal or haram sources, and without clear certification it is difficult to confirm. When in doubt, many Muslims choose to avoid mushbooh items as a precaution, following the prophetic guidance to leave that which is doubtful.
There are many halal-certified alternatives available in the beverages category. Look for products with recognised halal certification logos from bodies such as HFA, HMC, IFANCA, or JAKIM. Many mainstream brands now offer halal-certified versions of popular products, and specialty halal shops stock a wide range of certified options.
