Although it is forbidden to drink alcoholic substances produced for cleaning purposes, such as spirits or cologne (Buhârî, Adab, 80 [6124]; Muslim, Ashriba, 73 [2003]), it is permissible to use them for cleaning. It is also not necessary to wash the areas where these products have been applied before performing prayer. (Kâsânî, Bedâ’i, 5/115; Elmalılı, Hak Dini, 2/763-764)
