What is the ruling on manufacturing medicines that contain alcohol?

The Shaykh : It requires us to either manufacture alcohol or purchase alcohol, and whether it is this or that, it is not permissible in the Shari'ah. However, if medicines come to us already compounded and ready, and they contain a small percentage of alcohol that does not intoxicate this medicine, no matter the quantity of this medicine, then this is permissible because it is not an intoxicant, and the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that I mentioned earlier does not apply to it: This is the answer to the question you raised earlier; I hope it is clear?

The questioner : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
