Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is no product nowadays that contains chemical ingredients without using alcohol, even shampoo, even Dettol; they put a percentage of alcohol in them for the sake of the chemical substances... So what is the ruling on using shampoo and similar things? Is it the same ruling?
The Shaykh : Shampoo, soap, do you mean this?
Abu Layla : Soap.The questioner .
The Shaykh : Yes, that is well known. What do they mix in it?
The questioner : They put a percentage of alcohol in it, even Dettol, the antiseptic for wounds, they put alcohol in that too.
The Shaykh : No, I know Dettol does not contain alcohol. Dettol is a substitute for alcohol; it is an antiseptic and disinfectant that doctors can use in place of alcohol.
