We as muslims use shamposs and lotions regularly.Bulk, in fact 90% of them have an ingredient called cetyl alcohol
Question:Does our state automatically become napaak when using this?Is our ibaadat accepted?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
As a principle, alcohol derived from grapes and dates are not permissible. Alcohol which comes from sources other than these two and do not intoxicate is permissible. Cetyl Alcohol is originally derived from sperm whale oil and in modern day it is derived from coconut oil or may be synthetically produced. It is not an intoxicant, therefore it will be clean and not considered to be impure. One will not become impure using products that contain cetyl alcohol. The Ibadat performed with these products is valid.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
