It is vitally important that all Muslims are fully acknowledged and completely aware that consuming and using halal (permissible) products are part of our deen but most important it benefits whole body and life in positive way.
We hope to present and make clear the issue of using Alcohol based ingredients in skincare products. The majority of the info on this page is taken from www.gmwa.org.uk (halaal food guide service. If you feel any of this information is incorrect please let them or us know).
Almighty Allah (SWT) says, "O people of Imaan! Eat of the pure things (Halaal) that We have provided for you, and be grateful to Allah"
If alcohol is derived from grapes or dates, it will be haram and impure. If it is from anything else besides dates and grapes and it does not intoxicate directly or through a mixture, then it is permissible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
The general rule on the use of alcohol based perfumes/deodorants, etc is that if the alcohol has been extracted from grapes or dates their use will be forbidden since this is Najis (impure) and will thus make the body and clothes impure. Only alcohol which is derived from dates and grapes is filthy and impermissible to use.
