Question:
Is there any issue with the use and sale of alcoholic fragrances and perfumes?
Answer:
If it is established that they contain alcohol, which is khamr (intoxicants), and if it is established that alcohol is present in them, whether in taste, smell, or color, then it is not permissible to use them, nor to sell them, nor to buy them, because they are khamr. However, if it is said that they contain alcohol but they do not, or that there was alcohol initially but it has evaporated and disappeared, leaving no trace, then there is no ruling regarding them. Yes.
