The Ruling on Using Perfume Containing a Percentage of Alcohol
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to use perfume if it contains a percentage of alcohol?
Answer:
If it is established that it contains a percentage of alcohol, such that drinking it would cause intoxication, then it is khamr (intoxicants) and must be poured out and destroyed; it is not permissible to keep it. So how can one use it for perfume? However, if it is not established and it is merely rumors, the default is permissibility.
