The impurity of perfume containing alcohol

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q18: Is it permissible to use perfume that contains a proportion of alcohol ? And alcohol is, as you know, the intoxicating substance in wine.
A18 : It is not permissible to perfume oneself with anything containing alcohol if a large amount of it is intoxicating; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whatever a lot of it intoxicates, a little of it is unlawful.ما أَسكر كثيره فقليله حرام
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1865Hasan (Darussalam)
, and because it is intoxicating, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) described wine as an abomination, saying
the Exalted:
O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالأَنْصَابُ وَالأَزْلامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:90]
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
