Yes, stevia is halal. It is a natural sweetener taken from the leaves of the stevia plant. It comes entirely from plants and contains no ingredients from animals and no alcohol, so all schools consider it permissible. Blended stevia products, mixed with erythritol or dextrose, are also usually halal. Check the label for any added flavorings.
