What are the rules regarding praying namaaz with these perfumes, and do the conditions change if the perffume is sprayed especially for the occasion of namaaz. ANSWER: The alcohol contained in perfumes is synthetic alcohol and is not Najis. Hence Prayers with that perfume are allowed. Wa Minallaahit Tawfiq Mustafa Jaffer
