Is the medical wipe containing some alcohol ritually impure?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is the medical wipe containing some alcohol ritually impure?

Answer:
If it contains alcohol that is ritually impure, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said regarding intoxicants, "so avoid them." When intoxicants were forbidden, they went out in the city and broke open the jars containing intoxicants, and it flowed into the streets. So it is not permissible to keep intoxicants or to use them for medical treatment. A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him, saying that he makes intoxicants for medicine. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Indeed, it is a disease and not a cure,أما إنها داء وليست بدواء،
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 27:88
It is not permissible to use intoxicants for medical treatment. And alcohol is an intoxicant; if it has an effect and has a presence, it is an intoxicant, and it is not permissible to use it. Yes.
