The Ruling on Using Perfumes That Contain Alcohol

The questioner:
What is the meaning of using perfumes for a science that exists in the sphere?

The Shaykh:
If it is confirmed that they contain alcohol, it is not permissible to use them, because they become intoxicating. If they are intoxicating, they must be destroyed. Allah the Exalted said, "So avoid it," and avoidance implies refraining from perfuming oneself with intoxicating perfumes. This is because they are ritually impure; they are ritually impure. And if they are not ritually impure, Allah has commanded their avoidance, "So avoid it," and the one who perfumes himself with them has not avoided them. It is obligatory to destroy khamr (intoxicants), and the one who keeps it for perfume has not destroyed it; rather, he has kept it, and it becomes water that is sold and bought, so this is not permissible.
As for mere rumors, saying "it is in it" without proof and without a proper analysis, this is not acted upon. The default is permissibility until it is proven that it contains intoxicating alcohol. As for rumors and doubts, they have no effect. Yes.

The questioner:
Years. Do you see, as if you

The Shaykh:
I said if it intoxicates, if the perfumes, if drunk, intoxicate, because some perfumes now intoxicate; you take them for intoxication. This type is not permissible to use, and it must be destroyed. It is not permissible to keep it; it must be destroyed. Yes.
