Body wash and cream containing ethanol
Question
I have bought a natural body wash and cream product and noticed afterwards that it contains ethanol. Is it permissible to use? If not, should I discard or give it to a non-muslim?
Answer
It is permissible to use.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
