What is the ruling on a woman in 'iddah using scented shampoo and soap?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman in 'iddah to use scented shampoo and soap?

Answer:
That which does not contain perfume is fine. The woman in 'iddah cleans herself, takes a bath, and combs her hair, but without perfume. She uses cleansing materials like soap, sidr, or shampoo that does not contain perfume; there is no objection to this. The matter is not as it was in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, where she would leave off cleaning and let dirt and odors accumulate on her. Yes.
