Medicine Containing Alcohol
Is it permissible to use medicine that contains as one of its ingredients alcohol? Is it permissible to use if it is being applied to the skin only?


Praise be to Allah.

If the medicine containing alcohol is essentially an intoxicant, such that drinking a large amount of it would make one drunk, then it is haram to take it or to give it, because the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whatever makes one drunk in large amounts, a little of it is haram" (Reported by the four muhaddithin and others; see also Sahih al-Jami’, no. 5530). If it is not an intoxicant, then it is permitted to give it and to apply it to the skin, etc.

And Allah knows best.
