What is the ruling on handling materials in whose manufacturing alcohol is used, based on the sayings of scholars regarding its impurity?
Summary:
Materials containing alcohol are impure, and alcohol is an intoxicant, rendering both small and large quantities of it impure. Thus, if a shoe contains alcohol, it is defiled, and prayer in it is not permissible. However, the use of carpets, phones, and watches glued with alcoholic substances does not prevent prayer, as their exterior does not become impure from the impurity of their interior. Nevertheless, it is not permissible for their bearers to pray before removing them. As for alcoholic wound disinfectants, their use is permissible out of necessity. If alcoholic substances transform into a non-intoxicating substance, they are considered pure.
