Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He says: What if a person is in ihram and has perfume on him, and he touches it?
Answer : We say that if he touches it for the purpose of applying perfume, it is not permissible. However, if he touches it out of necessity, such as wiping his head during wudu' while he has perfume on his head, then that does not harm him. He is not required to wash his hand, because he did not renew the perfume, and because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wipe the white musk in his hair partings while performing wudu' without a doubt, and while performing ghusl. The one in ihram must not use perfume initially. Yes.
