Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
If the mentioned drink is similar to 'fuqaa' which causes a light intoxication, it is not permissible to drink it. However, if it is similar to barley water that does not cause intoxication, then it is permissible to drink it.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If it is 'fuqaa' (beer) or intoxicating, it is not permissible to drink it even if it is free of alcohol. However, if it is medicinal barley water, there is no objection to consuming it as long as one is not aware of it containing impurities or anything forbidden. The responsibility of determining this lies with the individual.
