The The status of alcohol in contemporary products according to Islamic law & scientific aspect

Abstract

Alcohol, an organic solvent, provides an extensive utilization within the manufacturing sector, particularly in the production of food and beverage items. Moreover, it holds significant importance in the cosmetics industry for crafting products like perfumes, moisturizers, and various personal care items. While its widespread use is undeniable, there remains a notable lack of discourse regarding the employment of alcohol in cosmetics when considering both Shariah and scientific viewpoints. This report primarily aims to investigate the halal compliance of alcohol as an ingredient in Shariah-compliant cosmetic products. The analysis encompasses a multifaceted examination of various aspects of Shariah law and incorporates insights drawn from preceding scientific studies. Scholarly perspectives from the realms of Shariah and science are analysed in this research, and the diverse types of alcohol encountered in cosmetic products are also subject to investigation. This report also aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of alcohol in contemporary products, examining its permissibility according to Islamic law, its scientific attributes, and the potential health effects associated with its consumption.
