What is the ruling on touching furniture that has been touched by a perfumed guest wearing an alcoholic fragrance, and is it obligatory to wash what he has touched, and is it permissible to adopt any opinion when scholars differ, and is it obligatory to adopt the opinion of the most knowledgeable scholar?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no need to wash anything touched by a hand that has applied perfume containing alcohol, unless the perfume is still wet and touches something, or if it is dry but the hand touches something wet. One must beware of obsessive doubts (waswasah). An ordinary person should ask the people of knowledge, and it is more prudent for him to emulate those most knowledgeable and pious.
