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.
