Question Summary: May I use creams that contain alcohol in them? Question Detail:
I have been using a particular brand of baby creams and lotions for my 1.5 year old since her birth. I recently noticed that it contains " Alcohol" as one of its ingredients. Is using those baby creams and lotions haraam??
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. If the alcohol contained within the cream is derived from dates or grapes, the cream will be impure and impermissible to apply onto the skin. However, if it is derived from other sources or it is synthetic (which is the case with most creams today), then the cream will be pure and permissible to use.[1] You may inquire from the manufacturer the source of the alcohol contained within the cream.
