Does the transformation of alcohol into perfume remove its impurity?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
So it is said that this alcohol has transformed into a fragrant substance.
Answer:
The important point is that if it is established that it contains alcohol, and that the alcohol remains with its effect in this perfume, such that if a person were to drink it, it would intoxicate him, then it is khamr (intoxicants), because it is an intoxicant, and an intoxicant is najasah (ritually impure). His saying, "The Shaytan only wants to cause between you enmity and hatred through khamr and maysir (gambling)," before that, He the Exalted and Majestic said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:90] And "rajis" means impure. Yes.

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
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ
