Question: RE: alcohol


Dear respected Ulamaa,


My question is with regards to the question that was posted on here about the use of alcohols in cosmetics etc. I was just wondering whether it being permitted applied to when you're also praying salaah?


I had always thought that whilst pray salaah we should always be in the cleaniest forms, and that alcohol is something that isn't pure.


I apologise for any inconveniences.


JazakAllah khair for your time.


Wassalam.

Assalamu alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh


Alcohl derived from dates and grapes (raisin) would be deemed naajis
(impure) otherwise other alcohols are not impure per se so it would not
be necessary to wash off such alcohols like cosmetics alcohols, for
example.
