We read that as a spelling error for "Beer" and have named the entry accordingly; the source's spelling is kept as an alias. The classification is unaffected either way, since it rests on alcoholic fermentation. World of Islam (secondary aggregator · grade C: secondary reference · accessed 2026-08-21)
