    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1151/1081=H)

     

    Nowadays, the alcohols used in medicines and perfumes are not made of grapes and dates but from potato, vegetables and coals; therefore medicines containing a little amount of it will be allowed provided they do not cause intoxication. This is the maslak of Imam Abu Hanifa and Imam Abu Yusuf, based upon their opinions, the use homeopathic and allopathic medicines is permissible.
