What is your response to the evidence that negates the impurity of alcohol and permits the use of alcohol-containing sprays for treating hair loss?
The majority of jurists hold that (wine/intoxicant) is ritually impure (najis), basing their argument on the verse: "O you who have believed, indeed intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing to] stone altars, and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may succeed" (Al-Ma'idah: 90). The term "defilement" (rijs) here encompasses both physical and spiritual impurity. It is not correct to argue for its purity based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, not ordering Abu Hurayrah to wash the vessel from which he poured wine, because the obligation to wash vessels that contained wine was known to the Companions. This is supported by the of Abu Tha'labah, may Allah be pleased with him, in which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded the washing of vessels used for drinking wine if no others were available.
