The ruling on using perfumes containing alcohol
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks about using perfumes that contain some alcoholic substances; is it permissible for a person to use them?
Answer:
The criterion in this matter is that perfumes which intoxicate if drunk are forbidden, whether in small or large quantities, and they are ritually impure. They must be destroyed. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1865Hasan (Darussalam) Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:90] [Al-Ma'idah 5:90]. "Rijs" means ritually impure, and He commanded us to avoid it. If one perfumes himself with it, he has not avoided it. However, if these perfumes do not intoxicate, meaning that even a large amount of them does not intoxicate if drunk, then the default ruling for them is permissibility. Yes.

Whatever a lot of it intoxicates, a little of it is unlawful.
ما أسكر كثيره فقليله حرام.O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُgambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it
وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ
