The questioner:
But she is a woman who performed 'Umrah, but she applied perfume before shortening her hair. What is the ruling? Shortening her hair, what is the ruling?
The Shaykh:
This is prohibited. It is forbidden for a person in ihram to apply perfume unless he exits the state of ihram. It is forbidden for a person in ihram to use perfume after entering ihram. So if she did this intentionally, she owes a fidyah (ransom payment). If she was forgetful or ignorant, she owes nothing. However, if a person in ihram forgets or is ignorant and applies perfume, then realizes his mistake and knows that it is forbidden for him, he must hasten to wash the perfume off his hand or his garment.
