Scholars differ General principles

Are perfumes and hand sanitizers with alcohol permitted?

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.

Evidence

Quran

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

¡Creyentes! El vino, el maysir, las piedras erectas y las flechas no son sino abominación y obra del Demonio. ¡Evitadlo, pues! Quizás, así, prosperéis.

This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
