Applying oud with alcohol content

· 12 Muharram 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is applying oud halaal or haraam since in many oud's, the producers add alcohol although the alcohol is evaporated at about 15°C to 20°C (as per the producers comments)?

Answer

Generally, the alcohol that perfumes contain are synthetic and chemically produced alcohol. If this is the case then such perfumes can be used.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
