The ruling on using perfumes containing a percentage of alcohol
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: And if it is impure, is it forbidden to use the alcohol found in some perfumes, and is one's prayer invalid in a garment scented with these perfumes?
Answer:
If you analyze it and find that it contains some of the khamr (intoxicants), then it is forbidden. As for mere rumors and companies that spread rumors about one another and cause confusion, that is not acceptable. It must be tested. If it is established that it contains alcohol, then it is prohibited and must be destroyed. If it is not established, the default is permissibility, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
