Assalaamu aly kum wa rahmatallahe wa barakatu

someone told me that the use of nutmeg in cooking is haram, because nutmeg if consumed in large quantities could be intoxicating, what is the truth in it? Insha'Allah you can clarify this doubt for me.
May Allah bless all of you and your families.

Wasalaam



In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

What you heard is baseless. Nutmeg is permissible.

And Allah knows Best
Wa Alaykumussalaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh
