Just a thought. If we all had enough sense to accept ourselves and others as Allah(swt) created us, there would be no demand for cosmetics.



Perhaps there is a reason the path to find cosmetics is often blocked. Perhaps?

but cosmetics, regardless of what they contain, aren't intoxicants are they? so i think its fine to use them (within their limits).

I think our biggest mistake is that Muslims defined khamr/intoxicant as "alchohol", the prob is they forgot to differentiate between the chemical and the beverage version of it... and they further more narrowed intoxicants down to only being in the form of alchohol.

Which creates alot of rigidity when it comes to understanding wats halal and whats not.

I guess its kinda english's fault they called beer alchohol instead of ethanol :thumbs_do

tc all the best :)
 
Well then i guess i gotta get rid some of my perfume :X what if you put it on your clothes, not ur skin..is it still haraam? umm im not sure if that was answered already...so just tell me :D
 
Have you ever considered making your own purfume?
It is really very simple. get a glass jar and put some oil in it (whatever kind you are allowed to use) then put dried flowers and such inside the oil and set in a cool dry place for a few weeks. the more flowers you put in the stronger the smell. then just rub small amount on pressure points where you would normally put perfume. personally i like lavendar and mint. flowery yet fresh.
as far as lotions go-alot of the ones that are for sensitve skin have no parfumes or alchohol in them so you might want to try those

I believe it is time for the scholars to determine exactly what the original Arabic word meant. The English translation ends up as it being just about everything. I suspect the English word alcohol goes far beyond the original meaning.
 
ok so basically whats the conclusion? i cant be bothered to read all those scientific terms, that sounds so bimboish dnt it lol.

i use a cream called simple, its got no alcohol or animal deritives, u can also use baby lotions because theyre made to be gentle enough for babies skin, but avoid johnson n johnson cuz theyre boycotted. but most shops like boots n superdrugs n wilkos do their own brands.

I think the best choice is to err on the side of halal if you have any doubt. Cosmetics are not a requirement. If you have any doubt about one not being halal don't use it.
 
sorry i am new here so this is a dumb question

why is johnson&johnson boycotted?
 
Now I'm confused. How was Johnson & Johnson involved in that?

alchohol u mean? alchoholc ame from the word 'al-kuhl' which means 'eyeliner'...

but Allah used the term 'intoxicant'... not alchohol... so anything that prevents clarity of understanding/thoguht is an intoxicant, whether its alchohol or not.

people forget that hte 'alchohol' seen on perfume bottoles isn't necessarily an intoxicant... it's just a chemical name, not the intoxicant's name.

:w:

i didnt read through all the replys, but most 'Simple' products are 100% alcohol and perfume free, and most of the 'Soft and Gentle' deodrants are 100% alcohol free.
it says on the packaging and you can also read the ingredients to double check if you want to.
