Question:
Are perfumes and cosmetics that contain a percentage of alcohol considered pure, or are they impure? And is it permissible to pray in clothes that have this type of perfume? Please give us a ruling, may you be rewarded, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is a distinction here. If these perfumes contain alcohol that intoxicates in large quantities if drunk, then a small amount of it is forbidden, no matter how little it is, and it is not permissible to use it as a perfume; because it is an intoxicant, and every intoxicant is khamr (intoxicants), and every khamr is forbidden. What intoxicates in small quantities, and what intoxicates in large quantities, its small amount is forbidden. But if it is not among the intoxicants, then there is nothing wrong with using it as a perfume. Yes.
