Question:
He says: When we reached the miqat, I applied perfume to my body, and some of it got on my clothes. This was before I intended to enter the state of ihram. Do I owe anything?
Answer:
No. If you applied perfume to your body before entering the state of ihram, this is a recommended practice (sunnah) to apply perfume before entering the state of ihram. And if the perfume transfers from your body to the ihram garments with sweat, there is no blame on you, because you did not apply perfume after entering the state of ihram; rather, this was before entering the state of ihram. And the fact that it got on the garment after entering the state of ihram is no doubt, there is no harm. Yes. However, if you intentionally applied perfume to your body or your garment after entering the state of ihram, this is forbidden (haram) and not permissible.
