Face washes and creams that contain alcohol
Question
I have face washes, creams and lotions that contain alcohol and I dont know if its permissible for me to use them? Some people say yes and some say no. I am very confused. Please help.
Answer
If the alcohol is not made from grapes or dates and there is no impure ingredient in the lotions, creams, etc., it will be permissible for external use.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
