Grape Juice for Four Cups


Question:

Due to medical reasons, whenever I drink any wine - even a minute amount - I become very sick. I want to celebrate Passover properly. Can I use grape juice in place of wine? I do not wish to make a mockery of our most widely celebrated holiday, but I also do not want to take any risks with my health.a



AskTheRabbi.org answered:

Firstly, may God grant you a complete recovery.

It is absolutely permissible to use grape juice and you fulfill the commandment in its entirety by drinking the four cups of wine by using grape juice.
