Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is the ruling on praying for a person who has on him perfumes that contain a percentage of alcohol?
Answer:
If it is confirmed that it contains alcohol from intoxicants, do not wear it; do not perfume your clothes or your body with it, because it is ritually impure. As for mere rumors, the default is purity and the default is permissibility, if Allah wills. The default is that perfume is lawful unless it is established that it contains alcohol. Yes.
