The answer

The alcohol used in products, medicines, and foods generally no longer retains the ruling of impurity (najāsa) or prohibition (ḥurma) because it transforms into permissible, non-impure substances during manufacturing, either through chemical transformation (istiḥāla) or dissolution/assimilation (istihlāk). Therefore, there is no harm in using or trading these items. There is also an opinion that alcohol is neither an intoxicant () nor impure.
