The ruling on a woman in ihram who uses perfume

Question:
Sister Sarah, please, Sister Sarah. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. O Shaykh, may Allah prolong your life, I performed Hajj thirteen years ago, yes, and we were in Mina, blessed and slow. After three, after six years, one of my children passed away, and then I performed Hajj on his behalf, and I do not know, O Shaykh, whether I have anything upon me or not. Good. May Allah reward you with good. Thank you, Hajj. O Shaykh, Salih says: Thirteen years ago, and they were in Mina, blessed and good. She says: On her body, she says: Then I performed Hajj for my son a second time. Do I have anything upon me?

Answer:
If she used perfume while in ihram before she exited her state of ihram, this is a mistake, because this is forbidden among the prohibitions of ihram. If she knew that it is not permissible for a woman in ihram to use perfume, then she has a fidyah (ransom payment) where she chooses between feeding six poor people, half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for each poor person, or slaughtering a sheep, or fasting for three days. So this...
...is the kaffarah (expiation) or fidyah for the prohibited act. However, if she was ignorant that it is forbidden for a person in ihram to use perfume, then she has nothing upon her, and praise be to Allah. Or if she was forgetful and used perfume while forgetting that she was in ihram, then she washes off the perfume and has nothing upon her, and praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah.
