Fatwa #1551411 August 2007India
Performing Salaah with clothing which contains alcohol
Question
I want to know whether the perfumes containing materials like ethyl alcohol, propenol, alcohol-Denat, butanol etc. is haram or not. Can we offer namaz if we have sprinkled the perfume containing these contents. Perfumes like HugoBoss, Calvin Clein, Azzaaro etc. Please reply. I had asked the same question earlier but no reply from your side. Hope to get the reply this time. Wasalaam
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
It is permissible to use perfumes containing synthetic alcohol. The perfume will be pure.
And Allah knows best
