The answer

The relied-upon opinion for us is that ethyl alcohol is impure, and consequently, perfume containing ethanol becomes impure, unless it undergoes a complete transformation. If the water seeping into the pages of the Mushaf seeped in before encountering the trace of perfume, there is no issue with its purity. However, if it encountered the perfume and then seeped, there are three scenarios: If it separated altered by the alcohol, it is impure by consensus. Or, if it separated unaltered before the place became pure, its ruling depends on the scholars' differing opinions regarding a small quantity of water. Or, if it separated unaltered from the wash that purified the place, it is pure. Since the default status of things is purity, that seeping water is ruled to be pure, unless its impurity is ascertained.
