The ruling on using perfumes containing alcohol or for treating wounds

Question : Now, let us look at your opinion regarding the use of these perfumes that are said to be intoxicating. Is it permissible or not? Is it complete perfumery, or does it affect the spirit? Is it permissible or not?

Answer : We say, of course, if we say it is not permissible in its entirety, it is only if a person needs it that he uses it in a way that removes the [impurity] if they come to the prayer or to the place. But if we say that it is pure, which is the correct view, is it permissible to use it in perfumes or not?
In this matter, we look to the noble verse: "Indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificial] stones, and [divination] arrows are an abomination of Satan's handiwork; so avoid it that you may be successful." The command to avoid it, if we take it in its generality, encompasses avoiding drinking it, possessing it, and benefiting from it. This is why the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the pouring out of intoxicants. This is evidence that it is obligatory for the Muslim to avoid intoxicants absolutely. So avoid it. And if we look at the beginning of the verse, it is possible to hope that the avoidance is limited to drinking, meaning: avoid drinking it, as indicated by His saying: And when do these arrows [become relevant]? If he lies or uses them for divination?
If it is false, one might say that the meaning of "avoid" here is avoiding drinking it, based on the evidence of the cause in the evidence of the cause of the expression: "Satan only wants to cause between you enmity and hatred..." This is evidence that what must be avoided from it is the drinking. Now, my brothers, if we look at the generality of the ruling, "avoid them," what does it indicate?
It indicates absolute avoidance. And if we look at the cause, it specifies this matter to drinking, which leads to intoxication and turning away from the remembrance of Allah. The verse remains, in reality, among the ambiguous verses. The verse remains among the ambiguous verses in the Fire. And since the ruling is among the ambiguous rulings, the scrupulousness, yes, the abstention from it, the scrupulousness is the abstention from it. For this reason, it is recommended for the one seeking knowledge to avoid being intoxicated by these perfumes that contain a strong substance. As for the thing that has no precise proportion such that it does not reach the definition [of intoxication], there is no harm in it, there is no harm in it. Just as the first one, which contains the strong substance, if a person needs it for estimating circumstances and the like, there is no blame on him either, because its prohibition has not become clear to the point that we say, "No, avoid it," and it is not permissible to return to it in a state of presence. So on this basis, we say there is no harm in using it for perfumery and the like. But as for the way of perfumery, it is scrupulousness, and I do not say it is forbidden; I say that avoiding it is scrupulousness. And Allah knows best.
