The ruling on selling and using perfumes containing cologne
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on selling and using perfumes that contain cologne?
Answer:
I do not know if cologne is khamr (intoxicants) or not. If it is established that it is khamr and that it intoxicates whoever drinks it, then it is forbidden by consensus. However, if it does not intoxicate, then it is a matter of dispute. If it is established that it contains khamr, even a little, then it is not permissible. But if it is merely a rumor that is circulating and this has not been established, then the default is that it is lawful and permissible. Yes.
