Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to use perfumes that contain a hundred percent alcohol?
Answer:
If you know that it contains a large amount of alcohol, not a small amount, and you know that it contains alcohol, then it is not permissible to use it. Alcohol is intoxicants, and it is not permissible to use intoxicants, neither in perfume nor in treatment or medicine. This is not permissible. It is obligatory to destroy the intoxicants, to destroy them and not to keep them. But if you do not know, and it is merely a rumor, and you do not know the original ruling, praise be to Allah, there is no harm as long as it is not established that these perfumes or this medicine contains alcohol. If it is established, leave it and avoid it. Yes.
