Canadian clerics argue there’s no need to worry about glycerin hand sanitizers.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, TORONTO — No need to worry about using hand sanitizer containing glycerin (glycerol can be obtained from saponification process from animal fats, transesterification from biodiesel fuel production and epichlorohydrin process as well as cooking oil processing) and propylene glycol (an alcohol derivative). Launch page aboutislam.net Canadian cleric Ahmad Kuttt said the use of cleansers containing these ingredients was permitted as they were intended for external use only.
Moreover, its use is tolerated by unavoidable necessity. He was known as General al-Balwa, things the use of which was inevitable because it was so common and there was no viable alternative. Moreover, these materials have undergone such chemical modifications that their original properties or qualities have been altered.
Therefore, you don’t have to worry about using a cleanser. And it is not necessary to wash seven times like washing the najis after using it.
We should remember God’s words: “God wants ease for you, not difficulty. (Al-Baqarah verse 185) “and do not burden yourself in religion.” (Al-Hajj verse 78).
Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: “This religion is easy to follow; whoever made things difficult would only blame himself with such an attitude. (Al-Bukhari).
