Are perfumes and hand sanitizers with alcohol permitted?

Scholars differ General principles Quran · 1

Short answer

Many contemporary scholars permit alcohol in perfume and sanitizers for outside use only, because the ban on khamr (5:90) concerns drinking, and the alcohol is not for intoxication. Others advise avoiding it in perfume and prayer clothing. Do not drink it. Alcohol-free products are the safer choice.

Quran

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْخَمْرُ وَٱلْمَيْسِرُ وَٱلْأَنصَابُ وَٱلْأَزْلَٰمُ رِجْسٌۭ مِّنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ فَٱجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴿٩٠﴾

O ye who believe! Strong drink and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed.
