Question
Is Alcoholic spray allowed or not while praying?
Answer
Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
If the spray is from synthetic alcohol, it is pure and is permissible. If the alcohol is from grapes or date extract, it is impure and not permissible.
Generally the alcohol in sprays is synthetic.
And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best,

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
