The alcohol in these products is not the same alcohol as you drink. and anyway, as long as you don't drink it or eat it, there's no problem.

Islam forbids intoxicants, but the word "alcohol" refers to a variety of different chemicals. The alcohol that makes you drunk is ethanol, which is different from the types alcohols used to make products.

Yeap, drinking alcohol is VERY different from Rubbing Alcohol. (In various products including medical supplies)

methanol can also make you drunk (you can die from it)

thing is the quantity of alcohol in the perfume/soap must not be intoxicating for it to be halal. There is alcohol in fruits too but youd never get drunk from it.

waalaykum assalaam,

May Allaah reward you with good for putting a question,

I looked into Islamqa site and it says as below in regard.

Cosmetic products that contain alcohol

Is it allowed to use beauty products (i.e body creams etc) that contain alcohol.

Praise be to Allaah.

It is safer not to use beauty products that contain alcohol, because of the difference of opinion as to whether intoxicating substances are naajis (impure) or not. If one is forced to use them and the amount of alcohol contained is very small, then it is OK, in sha Allaah.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr



And Allaah knows the best.
