Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Is there anything else?
The questioner : My master, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And may He bless you. Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings, and His forgiveness.
The questioner: How are you, O Shaykh? No harm.
The Shaykh : No harm.
The questioner: Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner: May Allah bless you, O Shaykh. If you allow, I have some questions, may Allah have mercy on you. Two questions.
The Shaykh : Go ahead.
The questioner: The first is the ruling on using perfumes that contain a percentage of alcohol?
The Shaykh : If the percentage of alcohol is such that it makes these pleasant scents an intoxicating liquid, such that if an addict to intoxicants who is accustomed to it drinks it, it acts upon him like intoxicants, then it is not permissible. But if the percentage of alcohol is small, it is permissible. Perhaps the answer is clear?
The questioner: Yes, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Okay, what is the second question?
