The ruling on using perfumes that contain alcohol
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, may Allah protect you: I use perfumes that contain some alcohol on my clothes or my shemagh. I ask you to explain this in detail and whether it is permissible to use them as perfume.
Answer:
First, one must verify. Does this perfume contain alcohol or not? We do not rely on mere rumors; the default ruling is permissibility, praise be to Allah, so verification is necessary. If it is established that this perfume contains some alcohol, it is not permissible for us to use it as a fragrance, due to the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, regarding intoxicants and gambling:[Al-Ma'idah 5:90] Avoiding it is not merely avoiding the substance; one must avoid this if it is established that it contains some alcohol, some alcohol, meaning the intoxicant. Yes. As for a mere rumor, the default is permissibility, but if one wants to leave it off out of caution, out of caution, and leave it as in the hadith: Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam) there is no harm. However, if we declare it forbidden while nothing has been established in it, that is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
