Our last question for today, a very simple, very easy one.

Brother Suleiman emails and asks that these days because of the COVID crisis everybody's using

alcohol-based sanitizers. So what is the ruling or verdict because it is

alcohol-based? Can we use alcohol-based sanitizers or must we find sanitizers that are non-alcoholic-based? Salami, kibati kahilah ri jalan no he

The response to this question is that the use of alcohol on the external body

to cleanse one skin you know to to cleanse in the bacteria and to kill the

you know germs and whatnot that this is completely permissible and in fact the

position that I advocate and I have spoken about this in more detail in another

Q&A, please log on and do a search, I don't remember the title of it, I think is

alcohol nudges or something but I've given a very long lecture about going to do a search. I don't remember the title of it. I think is alcohol

Nages or something, but I've given a very long lecture about this controversy and

the evidences of both sides, but the position that I advocate and I'm very

confident on, inshala la is that alcohol is not even

najas in the first place to be applied as a solvent on the skin or in the

creams or in the lotions or in the perfumes. This is not the drinking alcohol at all and the chemical component of ethanol is not nudges.

So it is not something that you should be worried about. You may apply alcohol-based sanitizers

and it will not break your oodu. You will not have to wash yourself with water after you use that before you, you you know you will be you will apply it and

you can pray with the alcohol-based sanitizers it is completely permissible to use and
