Fathwa Article, - Ruling on using denatured alcohol

Question
aslm alkm i saw about denatured alcohol in ur site...actually this
denatured alcohol is that which is not consumable bcoz of the addition
of certain chemicals in ethanol which causes intoxicity...and so
denatured alcohol wonntcause any type of intoxicity....but u told that
if the denatured alcohol causes intoxicity prior to the addition of
chemicals then it is not permissible....how is that possibile....in
one way,if an alcohol undergoes changes and converts to another new
form,then itis permissible naa...i mean in cosmetics and all....plz
clarify my doubts....and do guide me tjhe right way
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.
