The effect of cologne perfume after wudu' on the wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
She asks: Does applying cologne perfume after wudu' invalidate the wudu', given that it is made from alcohol or contains a percentage of alcohol?
The Shaykh:
It does not invalidate the wudu'. However, if it contains alcohol, and you verify that it contains alcohol, then it is ritually impure (najasah). Therefore, it must be washed off in order to remove the impurity. If a person performs a complete wudu' and impurity touches his garment or his body, he is required to remove the impurity, but his wudu' remains valid. Yes.
The questioner:
Therefore, he must wash his hand after touching the perfume.
The Shaykh:
He washes whatever the alcohol touched, because alcohol is ritually impure.
