Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the use of fragrances by a fasting person during the day in Ramadan, does it break the fast?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with fragrances; what is prohibited is smelling the scents, such as the scent of agarwood and the smoke of agarwood, or burning incense with the intention of smelling it. Likewise, if the perfume is in powder form, he should not smell it so that it does not fly up to his nose and enter his stomach. If the perfume is in powder form, he should not smell it, and likewise, he should not smell the smoke of incense; he should not intend to smell it. However, if the perfume is liquid, there is no harm in the fasting person using it on his clothes and his body. Yes.
