Purchasing perfumes that contain alcohol
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: As for perfumes that contain a percentage of alcohol, what is the ruling on purchasing such perfumes?
The Shaykh:
If it is established that they contain some alcohol, they are forbidden (haram) and must be destroyed; because intoxicants (khamr) are impure, and even if drinking them does not cause intoxication, they must be destroyed.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Mere rumors that they contain alcohol, if this is not established, the default is permissibility. Yes.
