Non-Edible Skin Products Containing Haram Animals Ingredients
In my understanding, It is true that absorption of certain elements through skin have a certain impact on the body at times ( usually in higher quantities ), however, the normal day use of creams, lotions and shampoos still cannot be categorized as an activity equivalent to having an impact which we see in cases like food consumption. To become a part of ‘ takhliqi amal ‘ the activity should be of a magnitude which can either be categorized as equivalent to food consumption, either on the face of it (e.g. eating pork ) or through its impact (e.g. having a pig’s heart transplant ). In the absence of such evidence, we should be allowed to used such items like creams , lotions , shampoos , perfumes containing alcohol etc. __ Please keep in mind that it is an ijtihadi matter for which you have opinions of two very respectable scholars above, Ghamidi Sahab and Dr. Irfan Shahzad Sahab. In such matters, differences of opinion are quite natural and for common muslims like you and me, we can opt one of the two opinions of these scholars which we, as per our understanding, find more logical and more reasonable. The only thing which matters is that we should make an honest judgement while adopting any such opinion.
