The ruling on using perfume containing alcohol
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the ruling on using perfume that contains a percentage of alcohol?
Using perfume that contains a small percentage of alcohol is permissible, as long as that percentage has disappeared and the perfume predominates. However, if the percentage is large and does not disappear, it is well known that alcohol is an intoxicant. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Every intoxicant is khamr, and every intoxicant is forbidden”.
