Question: With the spread of the Caronavirus, people are being advised to use hand sanitizers frequently. Is it permissible to use a hand sanitizer that contains alcohol in it?

Answer: There are two types of alcohol. The first type is alcohol that is extracted from grapes or dates. It is Haram and impure.
The second type of alcohol is synthetic. Synthetic alcohol refers to alcohol formulated from chemical substances.

The alcohol used in hand sanitizers is synthetic. Therefore, it is permissible to use a hand sanitizer that has synthetic alcohol.
