  • Sunscreen/Sunblock With Alcohol In Its Ingredients

    Posted by Noor Fatima on March 3, 2023 at 3:06 am

    Kindly tell me if using a sunblock / sunscreen with alchohol or variants of it, Or any ingredients extracted from animal sources is Permissible?

    Does it affect Wudu (invalidating it) or is it impure. Kindly answer.

    I believe Alcohol or Prohibited Animals are not allowed to consume when it comes to external usage I don’t think there is any issue with that.

    Yes, prohibition is indeed about consuming as a food item.
    Also, it will not be allowed if they get adsorbed on your skin without transformation. You can refer to Discussion 57543 for a similar type of question.
    However, Ghamidi sb thinks it’s up to the person’s consciousness to use it as a non-food item. By the way, He prefers to avoid them as much as possible.

    There is no issue in using such sunscreen/sunblock whose ingredients include alcohol or variants of it or any other animal source.

    This issue is no different than using perfumes containing alcohol or using items made out of pig skin.

    Please refer to the following videos:
