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﴾

Enyi mlio amini! Bila ya shaka ulevi, na kamari, na kuabudu masanamu, na kupiga ramli, ni uchafu katika kazi ya Shet'ani. Basi jiepusheni navyo, ili mpate kufanikiwa.

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