Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to use perfumes that contain alcohol? And what is the ruling on selling them?
Answer:
If it is established that it contains alcohol, then it is an intoxicant, and it is not permissible to sell it, nor is it permissible to use it as perfume, because it is ritually impure and because it is an intoxicant, so it is not permissible. As for mere rumors where it has not been established, the default is permissibility; the default is permissibility, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
