The Ruling on Cosmetics Made from Impurities such as Pig Fat
I live in a European country, and therefore perfumes here and cosmetics in general, including creams of all kinds, contain alcohol, and sometimes pig fat and colorants from certain insects, etc. Now: Are products that contain pig fat and the like forbidden? And do products that contain alcohol nullify ablution?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If you are certain that it contains pig fat, then it is impure and cannot be used. As for industrial alcohol, it is pure, and using it does not harm, and prayer is valid with it. And God knows best.
