Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person washes his hands with scented soap that has a fragrance, is it forbidden? Does he owe anything?
Answer:
It is not permissible if it has a lingering scent that remains on him; in that case, he owes a discretionary fidyah (ransom payment) as previously mentioned. However, if the scent does not remain and disappears quickly, he has erred in this, but he owes no fidyah, because no continuous scent remained on him.
