Question

I Would appreciate if you can advice me on wet-wipes that contain ethyl alcohol can we use it.

Answer

Ethyl alcohol or ethanol is a synthetic type of alcohol that is not derived from dates or grapes. Provided that it is used externally or consumed for medicinal purposes only, it will be permissible. Thus, wet-wipes that contain ethyl alcohol will be permissible to use.

And Allah Knows Best
