What is the ruling on one who applied perfume to his ihram garments before traveling, and then, when he put them on at the miqat, found that the scent of the perfume was still on them?

Question:
This questioner says: I applied perfume to my ihram before traveling, and when I put them on at the miqat, I found that the scent of the perfume was still on them. What is the ruling?

Answer:
Do not apply perfume to the ihram garments; rather, the perfume before ihram is applied to the body. One perfumes his body before entering ihram, but the ihram garments are not perfumed. It is obligatory to wash them and remove any perfume on them. However, since you were ignorant and carried the scent of the perfume in your ihram garments out of ignorance, you owe nothing. But in the future, be mindful of this so that the ihram garments are free from perfume, and if there is perfume on them, they are washed.
