Question:
May Allah reward you. A man perfumed his head before entering the state of ihram, and then the perfume fell on the ihram garments before the talbiyah and the ihram?

Answer:
There is no harm if he perfumes his body and enters the state of ihram, and then the scent of the perfume, or the perfume itself, is carried by his sweat and ends up on the rida or the izar; this does not cause harm. What is forbidden is that he perfumes himself after entering the state of ihram. He perfumes himself. As for having perfume on him from before, and it affecting the ihram garments due to sweat or the like, there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perfume himself for his ihram before he entered the state of ihram. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "It is as if I can see the gleam of musk in the partings of the hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in the state of ihram."
