What is the Islamic ruling on wearing perfumes that contain alcohol?

Question: Scholars of Islam, as-Salamu `alaykum!

What is the Islamic ruling on wearing perfumes that contain alcohol?

Answer:
Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear brother in Islam, we are very pleased for the great confidence you repose in us and we really commend your apparent interest in having a better understanding of the teachings of Islam and the rulings of this great religion in all matters. In fact, Islam is a religion that encompasses all aspects of life and secures guidance and light for all mankind.

As for your question, some Muslim scholars say that wearing alcohol-based perfumes is allowed in Islam.

In this regard, Al-Azhar House of Fatwa issued the following Fatwa:

"In Islam, it is unanimously held that all things are supposed to be deemed pure, and that it is not necessary that all what is declared forbidden is considered impure. This is because impurity is a legal ruling that needs evidence. For example, drugs and fatal poisons are forbidden, yet this by no means qualify them to be impure.

For this reason, some scholars including Rabi`ah, Al-Layth Ibn Sa`d, Al-Muzani (the companion of Ash-Shafi`i) and some other scholars hold that wine is pure regardless of its being unlawful, and that only drinking it is forbidden. However, the majority of jurists are of the view that wine is impure and forbidden.

Thus, we conclude that all that is impure is deemed forbidden, but not vice versa. This is because regarding something as impure is to forbid any physical contact with it, whereas regarding something as unlawful is not necessarily to forbid any contact with it. To illustrate, wearing gold and silk is unlawful (for men), yet they are considered pure by the consensus of scholars and thus can be touched by men.

As far as perfumes containing alcohol is concerned, they consist of many ingredients like water, perfume, and alcohol that comprises the highest percentage. It is known that alcohol is produced from sugarcane by way of distillation. Thus, according to the juristic rule, which states that all things are presumed to be originally pure and that being prohibited does not render something impure, perfumes that contain alcohol are pure, particularly if we bear in mind that they are used for cleaning and perfuming the body. Thus, it is permissible to use these perfumes and there is nothing wrong in that."

Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, former President of the Islamic Society of North America, adds:

"It is forbidden to drink alcohol. In the perfumes usually denatured alcohol is used. This alcohol is not unclean (najas). According to some jurists even natural alcohol is not najas. According to the Shari`ah, there is nothing wrong in using alcohol based perfumes."

“Using Products Containing Alcohol, Permited?” Part-3

Question: As-Salamu `Alaykum. I know that drinking alcoholic beverages is Haram according to Islamic law. What about other uses of alcohol in the following categories: rubbing over an injury, cologne or perfumes that contain alcohol, toothpaste that contains alcohol and using any soap or any cleaning material that contains alcohol?

Answer:Wa`alaykum As-Salaamu Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear questioner, thank you very much for having confidence in us, and we hope our efforts, which are purely for Allah’s Sake, meet your expectations.

In his response to the question, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, former president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), states the following:

“There are many types of alcohol, actually there are hundreds of members in alcohol family. Among them ethyl is the best known and this alcohol is generally used in beverages. There are some types of alcohol that are denatured and are used in perfumes and other cleansing agents. The rubbing alcohol does not contain ethyl alcohol. It is dangerous for drinking and may cause blindness and death. The external use of such alcohol is not forbidden in Islam.

According to the Qur’an and Sunnah, it is Haram to drink alcohol or alcoholic beverages. Even a small amount of alcohol is Haram and it must be avoided. However, jurists have differed on the Najasah or the physical impurity of alcohol. Some of them consider it Najis (impure), meaning that if it touches the body and clothes then it must be washed. There are others who do not consider it Najis. There are many jurists who have allowed the use of rubbing alcohol and the use of perfumes that contain alcohol.

As far as toothpaste or mouthwash that contain alcohol is concerned, it is better to avoid them, because they go inside the mouth.”

May Allah guide you to the straight path, and guide you to that which pleases Him, Amen.

“Is perfumes that contain alcohol, permitted?” Part-1

Dear Friends…

I have got some sources on “Is perfumes that contain alcohol, permitted?”

I wanted to share it with you.

Question 1: Is it haram to use cologne with alcohol in it?

Answer 1: All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Thanks for your interesting question, and we implore Allah to increase your knowledge about Islam.

First of all, we would like to anchor the basic concept that Islam recommends Muslims to smell good and to purify themselves within the realm of that which is lawful. It is no wonder to know that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is reported to have said, “Purification is half of faith.”

According to imam Shafi’i, alcohol is haram to drink, not for external use. At the same time, according to the experts, alcohol is a brand name under which there are many kinds that are intoxicating.

Based on this, alcohol-based cosmetics or deodorants are permissible since one doesn’t drink them and they are made for external use. It is worthy mentioning here that such alcohol-based perfumes usually go through chemical process of transformation, and hence there is nothing wrong with using them.

Allah Almighty knows best.

The reward of Muslim women in paradise

http://islamicrebuttals.blogspot.com/2007/11/reward-of-muslim-women-in-paradise.html

The Quran states in the chapter called "The Woman" [4:32]

"Women shall have a benefit from what they earn. Ask, therefore, God [to give you] out of His bounty: behold, God has indeed full knowledge of everything."

Men and women will be rewarded appropriate for their good works in this world and a woman does a lot more than a man! She will be rewarded for looking after her family, cooking, cleaning if done with an sincere intention for God/Allah.

So don't you think that God/Allah is just and will give more to the women, if they have done more? Yes of course he will.

A righteous woman’s beauty in paradise is more than the beauty of the maidens in paradise. So much so they will almost be jealous! And if a maiden spat in the sea, all the seas would turn sweet, so what then is the beauty of a righteous Muslim woman in heaven? Amazing!

One scholar told me that the rewards of the women in the Quran is implied because they are more bashful that a man. A man needs it to be spelt out to him and a woman can read between the lines.

"They shall have whatever they wish with their Lord." [Qur'an: Surat Zumar, 34]

In Paradise, if we wish for something, it will be there before us, and no one will find anything less than everything they could possibly seek.



So your question is what will women get in paradise? A female teacher answers this question below


"In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful


Praise be to Allah. May the peace and blessings of Allah shower upon our Beloved Messenger, his family, companions, and those who follow them.


Dear questioner,


The Qur'an gives women spiritual parity with men in terms of their status before Allah, their religious obligations, and the recompense of their deeds. The pleasures of paradise, including pure and righteous companions, are not exclusively for men. Allah says in Surat al-Baqarah verse 25, "But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits there-from, they say: "Why, this is what we were fed with before," for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (for ever)."


These "companions pure (and holy)" are called azwaj mutahhara in Arabic. Azwaj is the plural of zawj, which means mate, spouse, or companion. The promise in this verse is directed at the believers at large, both males and females, that they will have righteous spouses awaiting them in Paradise. Some scholars have said that if a believer so desires, she or he will be reunited with their spouse from earthly life.


Although the Qur'an mentions hur al-ain for men, or "wide-eyed virgins," this does not necessarily preclude the existence of handsome male companions for female believers.


And Allah knows best.


Umm Salah (Zaynab Ansari)"

Obama's Muslim Advisor (Exclusive)

http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_C&cid=1239888438065&pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout

====================

By Muhammed Qasim, IOL Correspondent

WASHINGTON - Dalia Mogahed, a hijab-clad American Muslim, has made history being the first Muslim woman appointed to a position in President Barack Obama's administration. She sets on a newly-formed interfaith advisory board the administration hopes will improve relations with Muslims in the US and across the globe. The Egyptian-born American heads the Gallup American Center for Muslim Studies, a research center that produces studies on Muslim public opinion worldwide. Click to enlarge In an exclusive interview, IslamOnline.net discussed with Egyptian-born Mogahed her new role, the challenges facing Muslims, Islamophobia in the US and her own success story. - How do you feel about being the first Muslim appointed to the Obama administration? I am not actually the first Muslim. There have been other Muslims appointed to Obama's administration. I am also not the only Muslim on the White House advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. I join Dr. Eboo Patel as the second Muslim on the council. I am, however, the first Muslim woman in this council. I feel very honored for the privilege to serve in this way, but also recognize the responsibility that I've agreed to take on. I see my role much more in terms of what needs to get done rather than a historical accomplishment. I believe the accomplishments are yet to be fulfilled. - What is the role of the Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnership? I am a member of a 25-person advisory council to the White House focused on offering solutions for societal problems sourced in the wisdom of faith communities. More specifically, I am on the Inter-religious Dialogue and Cooperation Task Force, a group of only 5. We will work on recommendations for our area of focus and these will be reviewed by the larger council and then included in an annual report with recommendations from the council to the President. - What is your role as an advisor on Islam? I would not say I am an advisor on Islam. I would say that it is my role to convey the facts about what Muslims think and feel. I see my role as offering the voices of the silenced majority of Muslims in America and around the world to the council so that our deliberations are informed by their ideas and wisdom. I believe that I was chosen because the administration cares about what Muslims think and wants to listen. - What kind of advise would you be giving Obama to improve relations with US Muslims and the Muslim world? I would advise him to listen first and foremost. Many have claimed that terrorists have 'hijacked Islam'. I disagree. I think Islam is safe and thriving in the lives of Muslims around the world. What the terrorists have been allowed to take over are Muslim grievances. Muslim concerns over injustice have been largely dismissed by the previous administration leaving a vacuum exploited by extremists. This is a dangerous reality for all of us. Instead, the US must hear mainstream Muslim concerns even if America does not agree with their perceptions. These issues can no longer be ignored or left and the extremists to monopolize. - What areas of domestic and foreign policies you think the administration should be introducing change in? I would endorse the action plan outlined in the report "Changing Course" which recommends four areas of action: Respect, Reform (political and economic) and Resolution of conflict. When it comes to the US, I would recommend that a senior member of the administration go on a "listening tour" of the US and hear what Muslim Americans are concerned over. Like all Americans, they are worried about the economic crisis, their financial future and jobs. And like many other US citizens, Muslim Americans are also worried about racial profiling, discriminatory immigration policy and the erosion of civil liberties. - What do you think of the rising Islamphobia in America? Islamphobia in America is very real. Gallup finds that Muslims are among the most unfavorably viewed groups in the US and only a little over a third of Americans say they have no prejudice against Muslims. This presents a grave danger to America as a whole. The disease of racism, by definition, is a bias in judgment. This means that racism clouds sound judgment and leads people to make irrational decisions. It also divides a nation and prevents the full utilization of its intellectual and cultural resources. Racism is wasteful. Racism is a strategic disadvantage. I am very proud of the progress America has made in fighting this problem as it relates to the relationship between blacks and whites. In 1956 only 4% of Americans approved of a marriage between whites and blacks. The marriage that produced our president was illegal in Virginia when he was born. Today 80% of Americans approve of marriage between blacks and whites. Last year, Barack Obama became the first Democratic Presidential candidate in decades to carry Virginia. We are a stronger and smarter nation because of this growth. Our next growth spurt will be in ridding our society of anti-Muslim prejudice. - What do you think US Muslims themselves need to do? Muslim Americans lag behind other Americans in their political and civic participation according to our research (National Portrait). The best thing they can do to strengthen America is to become fully engaged in writing its next chapter by getting involved and feeling a strong sense of ownership for the future of their country. - What are you hopes and aspirations for US Muslims? I hope that they enrich America by becoming fully engaged in its growth and development, as well as its struggles. - Tell us about your own journey of success as an American Muslim woman, with hijab. What challenges have you faced along the way? I have been tremendously blessed, Alhamdulillah. I feel that mine is a uniquely American story. I grew up in an educated middle class home, but with no special connections or privilege. By excelling in school, I was able to attend a top university and helped pay my way by working during the summer as an engineering intern. My summer job was at a paper factory in a small Wisconsin town. I was only 19 years old. Managing technicians often reminded me that they've been working on the machine longer than I've been on Earth. Many also told me that I was the first Muslim they'd ever met. Very few women worked in the factory, so I was already a minority just as a female, but I was also the only hijab-wearing woman in the entire town and the only Muslim in the factory. All of this of course presented a challenge, but one that taught me a great deal. Once people got to know me I became a professional to them, not a woman in hijab. I took this experience with me to my permanent job after college and to my graduate work. These situations taught me that living according to your conscience was more important than comfortably conforming to your surroundings. I think this simple lesson of life is one that has helped me succeed and given me the courage to face the most difficult and daunting situations.

पर दोस्त बना के यूही भुला ना दीजिएगा...

दिन हुआ है तो रात भी होगी, हो मत उदास कभी तो बात भी होगी,
इतने प्यार से दोस्ती की है खुदा की कसम जिंदगी रही तो मुलाकात भी होगी.
आपसे दोस्ती हम यूं ही नही कर बैठे, क्या करे हमारी पसंद ही कुछ "ख़ास" है. .
चिरागों से अगर अँधेरा दूर होता, तो चाँद की चाहत किसे होती.
कट सकती अगर अकेले जिन्दगी, तो दोस्ती नाम की चीज़ ही न होती.
कभी किसी से जीकर ऐ जुदाई मत करना, इस दोस्त से कभी रुसवाई मत करना,
जब दिल उब जाए हमसे तो बता देना, न बताकर बेवफाई मत करना.
दोस्ती सची हो तो वक्त रुक जता है अस्मा लाख ऊँचा हो मगर झुक जता है
दोस्ती मे दुनिया लाख बने रुकावट, अगर दोस्त सचा हो तो खुदा भी झुक जता है.
दोस्ती वो एहसास है जो मिटती नही. दोस्ती पर्वत है वो, जोह झुकता नही,
इसकी कीमत क्या है पूछो हमसे, यह वो "अनमोल" मोटी है जो बिकता नही . . .
सची है दोस्ती आजमा के देखो.. करके यकीं मुझपर मेरे पास आके देखो,
बदलता नही कभी सोना अपना रंग , चाहे जितनी बार आग मे जला के देखो
बातें करके रुला ना दीजिएगा... यू चुप रहके सज़ा ना दीजिएगा...
ना दे सके ख़ुशी, तो ग़म ही सही... पर दोस्त बना के यूही भुला ना दीजिएगा...
