In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh


Cosmetic alcohols:As a rule, alcohols (as long as they are not sourced from
dates or grapes) for external use in the form of medicines or beauty
products are permissible. If they are for internal use then the ruling
applied is: impermissible unless there is no suitable alternative.
