Should patients be told to wash their hands of alcohol after sanitizing them with it, knowing that my job is injection, not issuing fatwas, and that informing them of that would cause difficulty and hardship, and that jurisprudential opinions on the impurity of alcohol may differ?
The purity of alcohol is a valid juristic opinion, so patients should not be ordered to wash their hands from it. The actions of a layperson are considered valid and correct if they conform to a recognized juristic opinion, even if the layperson did not intend to follow that opinion.
