Using Perfumes with Alcoholic Contents Please give your viewpoint about alcoholic perfumes. Is there use allowed or not? Reply The Qur'an has prohibited Khamr (intoxicants or alcoholic beverages) for drinking. Using spirit for any other purpose, for example as an anti-septic, is not prohibited. By the same token, the prohibition of alcohol does not apply to use of perfumes with an alcoholic content. Obviously, if a crazy person starts drinking such perfumes as intoxicants, such an act shall now come under the prohibition of the Shari`ah . I hope this helps. In case any further explanation is required, please feel free to write back to me at your convenience. Regards The Learner
