Is Bio Ethanol fuel permissible in house hold fires?
Question
I wanted to know if using Bio Ethanol fuel based fireplaces can be used in our homes? They are flueless fires, meaning they do not require ventilation or a flue (like chimney) to remove harmful gasses. The bi-products are Carbon-dioxide and water only.
The fuel is generally in liquid form or gel.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible to use bio ethanol fuel based fireplaces.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
