Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on selling and using alcoholic perfumes? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Alcohol is khamr (intoxicants); alcohol is an intoxicant. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1865Hasan (Darussalam) Alcohol is an intoxicant. So if it is established with certainty that this perfume contains alcohol, it is not permissible to sell it. But if the matter is merely widespread, such that people say so and so, and it has not been established, then the default is permissibility, praise be to Allah. The default for perfumes and fragrances is permissibility, except for what is established with certainty to contain alcohol, and that is forbidden. Yes.
