The ruling on perfumes containing a proportion of alcohol
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks about the ruling on perfumes that contain a proportion of alcohol?
The Shaykh:
If it is established that they contain a proportion of alcohol and it has a presence, and the alcohol has a presence, then it is not permissible. Whatever intoxicates in large quantity is forbidden in small quantity. However, if the alcohol has been consumed and no trace or presence of it remains, then there is nothing wrong with that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
So two things are necessary: first, that it is established that it contains alcohol, and second, that it is established that the alcohol is still there, has not been consumed, and has not disappeared along with the other ingredients. Yes.
