Is the use of products containing alcohols (e.g. Dettol, hand wash, shampoos, etc.) allowed in Islam?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Please tell me in the light of hadith and Holy Quran whether the use of dettol, hand wash, hair gels, shampoos etc which contain alcohols in different forms is allowed in Islam or not?

Answer

(Fatwa: 246/246/M=1433)

Many alcohols are made of halal ingredients as well. So, we cannot term them as haram until it is not known about the said things by Shariah research that they are unlawful.
