Question:
What is the ruling on a woman who entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah and then washed her hands with soap by mistake? Is her 'Umrah valid?
Answer:
If this soap is of the kind that does not contain perfume, there is nothing wrong with it; she may use cleansing agents that do not contain perfume. As for perfumed soap, it is not permissible for a person in ihram to bathe with it or to touch it, because he would have touched something containing perfume. However, if one does so while forgetting or out of ignorance, there is no blame on him, because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has overlooked error and forgetfulness for this community,[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
