Using hand sanitizers that has alcohol as an ingredient

What is the ruling on applying hand sanitizer due to the pandemic when they are made from alcohol? These sanitizer are given to people at the doors of the masjids.

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

The alcohol that is included as an ingredient in medicine and other such products is usually made out things other than dates and grapes, such as wheat, grains etc. Imam Abu Hanifa is of the opinion that external use of such alcohol is permissible. For this reason, if this type of alcohol is included in the hand sanitizer as an ingredient, then one’s hands will not become impure after applying it, and it will also be permissible to use to protect oneself from the current pandemic.

كما في تكملة فتح الملهم: وأما غير الاشربة المحرمة فليست نجسة عند الامام أبی حنیفه رحمه الله تعالى وبهذا يتبين حكم الكحل المسكرة (ALCOHALS) التي عمت بها عموم البلوى اليوم فانها تستعمل في كثير من الأدوية والعطور و المركبات الأخرفأنها ِن اتخذت من غيرها فالأمرفيها سهل على مذهب أبي حنيفة رحمه الله تعالى ولا يحرم استعمالها للتداوى أو لأغراض مباحة أخرى مالم تبلغ حد الأسكار اھ (۳/608) والله اعلم!
