The ruling on using perfume that contains alcohol

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on using perfume that contains alcohol? And does it fall under the ruling of khamr (intoxicants) because it is an intoxicating substance?

Answer:
If it is established that this perfume contains alcohol, it is not permissible to use it. As for mere rumors, they are not to be heeded; the default is permissibility. But if it is established that it contains some alcohol, it is not permissible to use it, because this is using khamr (intoxicants). It is not permissible to use khamr; it must be destroyed immediately. However, the criterion is the establishment of this fact.
It may be that it originally contains alcohol, but the alcohol is consumed and disappears. No trace remains, so it has no ruling. If no trace remains, it has no ruling. Perhaps the criterion in this is that if a large amount of it is drunk, it intoxicates. If drinking a large amount of it causes intoxication, then it is not permissible to use it. Yes. Yes.
