Using phenylethyl alcohol in a nasal spray
Question
Phenylethylalcohol - if it's in a nasal spray for allergies (that I can live without) can I use it, according to hanafis?
Answer
If the alcohol is synthetic and it does not intoxicate, then it is permissible to use it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
