QUESTION:

Is it okay to use dental products which contain alcohol (e.g.. Mouth wash, tooth paste) some of the mouthwashes contain up to 12% alcohol.  

I would like to request to the moderator to forward my question to either Maulana Syed M. Rizvi, or Maulana Syed Z. Baqri.


ANSWER:

If dental products contain alcohol, then they become najis. If you can use it without swallowing it, then it could be permissible to use for its purpose; but you feel that it is impossible not to swallow some of it, then it is haram for you to use it.

Sayyid M. Rizvi
