Origin class: synthetic/unverified; INCI function: solvent (denatured / SD alcohol). status_condition: HALAL if non-khamr-derived AND denatured, HARAM if khamr-derived; conservatively MUSHBOOH when the source is unstated. Madhhab note: Hanafi permits external/non-khamr use, Shafii is stricter, IIFA Resolution 225 permits cosmetic denatured alcohol; the conservative floor (MUSHBOOH) is retained across all legs.
