Are perfumes that contain alcohol haram?

Are perfumes that contain alcohol haram?
Brother’s question concerning perfumes which contain alcohol.
Why this is an issue? Because of the fact that we know alcohol for Muslims is prohibited.
Alcohol is prohibited. However, It is prohibited primarily from drinking. This is the point. The production, consumption, distribution, and sales of alcohol for the purpose of drinking is forbidden.
However, we now use the term 'alcohol' to include a number of other substances which belong to the same family, but they’re not for drinking. They’re called alcohols. This is a chemical title. So all of those which are not for drinking are not included. The alcohol which may be found in some products, which are used for other than drinking purposes, won't be considered prohibited as a muslim to produce it. However, if it is used for drinking, then of course we shouldn’t.
If a product does contain a percentage of alcohol, and this substance is being used not for drinking purposes; it is for wounds, cleaning wounds. It is for, as the brother asked, for the production of perfume.
If the alcohol is used in the making of the perfume; is this forbidden in Islam? No. It's not forbidden.
The alcohol that is forbidden, is the one that is used for drinking purposes. The alcohol which is used for consumption - this is the alcohol which is forbidden.
