Shampoos which contain sodium laureth sulfate

Question

Almost all the shampoos have sodium laureth sulfate. I have read a few articles, they say it is haraam to use laureth sulfate. What should I do? Is it really haraam? If yes, then there are no available smapoo which does not have laureth sulfate in it in my area. Also tell me the reason why it is haram?

Answer

We are not a halaal certifying body. In these matters you may refer to reliable halaal certifying body in whom you have confidance.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
