form,then itis permissible naa...i mean in cosmetics and all....plz

Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
Our Fatwa regarding the denatured alcohol is clear, as we have
pointedout in it that if such alcohol is added while it is in its
state of causing intoxication, then its impurity still exists
according to the majorityof Muslim scholars. Mixing it with those
substances does not make it free from that description. Accordingly,
we have forbidden using it in cosmetics and the like for its impurity.
Actually, using it is more general than just drinking it.
It is worth noting that if the alcohol used has been transferred to
another substance prior to mixing it with other substances, in the
sense that its intoxicating characteristic is removed,then there will
be no harm in using what is mixed with it such as creams and the like.
Allaah Knows best.
