The Ruling on Perfume for Women When Entering Ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, Abu Dawud narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she used to perfume herself with musk when entering ihram. Is there a prescription for women to use perfume when they enter ihram?

Answer:
It is well known that you perfume the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) before he perfumes himself when he adorns himself; that is the well-known practice. As for you perfuming yourself, do not do it carelessly. A woman should not perfume herself with something that has a strong scent, but she should perfume herself with something that masks the scent of the strong perfume, and its scent should not be intense. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, a gift from al-Sawa. They say that a man hunts with what conceals its scent and lightens its color, and a woman hunts with what displays its color and lightens its saliva. Yes.
