Stevia is halal. It is a natural sweetener extracted from the leaves of the stevia plant, entirely plant-based with no animal ingredients or alcohol, so all schools consider it permissible. Blended stevia products (with erythritol or dextrose) are also typically halal — check the label for any added flavour carriers.

The short version
Stevia is a plant-derived sweetener from the stevia leaf — no animal source, no alcohol — so it is halal.
What it is
The sweetness comes from compounds (steviol glycosides) extracted from the leaves of the stevia plant. It is entirely plant-based.
Blended products
Tabletop stevia is often blended with erythritol or dextrose (both halal) as bulking agents. The only thing worth a glance is any added natural flavour carrier, though these are rarely an issue.
