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﴾

信道的人们啊! 饮酒、赌博、拜像、求签,只是一种秽行,只是恶魔的行为,故当远离,以便你们成功。

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