The questioner:
Drinking, but the other perfumes have nothing wrong with them, such as agarwood oil, rose oil, and the like. These are perfumes with nothing wrong with them.
The Shaykh:
But whenever it is established that something contains an intoxicant that causes intoxication, it is forbidden.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. A secret battle.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you. Prohibition. Prohibition. This white substance, which is based on the fact that it is...
The Shaykh:
Excellent. If it is established that it intoxicates, its prohibition is obligatory. Everything that intoxicates must be prohibited. Even if one argues for the ruling of impurity, the majority of scholars hold that every intoxicant is impure. Some scholars have held that intoxication does not necessarily imply impurity, such as if dates ferment and do not become impure, or if grapes ferment. However, the majority of scholars say that it becomes impure by that, even if we say it is not impure. Whenever it is established that it is an intoxicant, it must be poured out and destroyed, even according to the opinion that it is not impure, because the operative cause is present, which is intoxication.
