Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1865Hasan (Darussalam) Does this apply only to drinking, or is the alcohol found in perfumes and other things included in it?
Answer:
Yes, it is included in it, whether for drinking, medical treatment, or use, as long as parts of the khamr (intoxicants) are present in the preparation and have an effect, it is haram (forbidden) because it is using the khamr. But if it is consumed and no trace of it remains, then it has no ruling. Yes.
