The ruling on perfumes that contain alcohol

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on the fourth opinion regarding perfumes that are sprayed from alcohol, and what is the ruling on using them?

Answer:
The final conclusion and research on this matter. The Permanent Committee’s final answer during the lifetime of Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Zubayri (may Allah have mercy on him) was that if these perfumes become intoxicating when drunk, they are not permissible because they are khamr (intoxicants). However, if they do not become intoxicating, the default ruling for perfume is that it is permissible, and it is permissible to use it for fragrance, as there is no cause for prohibition, which is intoxication. This is the final conclusion reached, and the Committee issued a ruling based on it: if the large quantity of it is intoxicating, then it is forbidden, whether in small or large amounts, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) But if the large quantity of it is not intoxicating, then there is no harm in it, and its default ruling is permissibility and lawfulness. Yes.
