KUALA LUMPUR, March 12 — The use of alcohol-based hand sanitiser is permissible when performing prayers as it is considered a necessity and forgivable, according to the Office of the Federal Territory Mufti. According to the portal, the National Fatwa Council’s Committee ruled that alcohol that is not produced through the process of making liquor is not unclean but “haram” to be consumed, whereas alcohol from the process of making liquor is considered haram and unclean.
“This is clear as the National Fatwa Council’s Committee had decided that medications and fragrances containing alcohol are a necessity and therefore is forgivable,” the portal added.
