Using a sensitive cream for men during ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 20431 )
Q: During the tawaf and sa'y of Hajj and 'Umrah, it is common to use creams to alleviate severe chafing and redness between the thighs. Since perfume is among the prohibitions of ihram, is it permissible to use the cream called (Daktacort) in such circumstances, or not? A sample of this cream is attached.
A : There is no objection to using the cream called (Daktacort), a sample of which is attached, or anything similar to it, while a person is in the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah, and there is no harm in it; because it is a type of treatment and not a type of perfume, so it does not take on its ruling. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
