The Ruling on Selling Perfumes Containing Alcohol and Female Statues
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The presenter:
May Allah be pleased with you.
The Shaykh:
May Allah welcome you.
The questioner:
I have a question. One of us was in the market, and there was a perfume shop. My intention was that I had some goods that were prohibited. Perfumes containing alcohol came out to me, and there were also female figures, like female statues, in a nude form. The seller said, "These were prohibited when the Commission was in place. Now he says many things are brought in." So my question is: What is the ruling on using these perfumes? And what is your opinion on shortening the water cycle? Thank you. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to sell these items that contain alcohol, if it is established that they contain alcohol. Alcohol is intoxicant (khamr), so it is not permissible to sell it if it causes intoxication when drunk. It is not permissible to sell it because it is intoxicant, and intoxicant is abominable and must be destroyed and poured out. Likewise, the seductive images and statues. These images are forbidden (haram). It is not permissible to sell images because images are forbidden in themselves, so it is not permissible to sell them. Yes.
and Allah's mercy and blessings.
