I have been advised to take Regaine as this MAY help me grow back some hair and i believe this will help me considerabely.
However, Regaine contains Ethanol which is haraam. However, in this instance, and as it is not entering my body can i use it??
Further more, if i can not do ibadat whilst this is on my body, may i use it at night and wash it out before fajr?
Jazakamullah for your time.
Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem Al Jawaab Billahit-Tawfeeq Respected questioner. Regarding medication which has the ingredient ethanol, this is usually not the Alcohol (khamr) fermented from grapes or dates which is Haram(forbidden). In fact it is synthetic made from other materials, which is allowed for use on the body for medicinal purposes. As long as the medication is not taken orally.[1] [1] وإن معظم الكحول التي تستعمل اليوم في الأدوية و العطور وغيرها لا تتخذ من العنب أو التمر، إنما تتخذ من الحبوب أو القشور أو البترول وغيره، كما ذكرنا في باب بيع الخمر من كتاب البيوع، و حينئذ هناك فسحة في الأخذ بقول أبي حنيفة عند عموم البلوي.
