The Shedding of Beard Hair for a Person in Ihram and the Use of Scented Soap
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I was in the state of ihram, but I performed wudu' and combed my beard, and some hair fell out. Does this invalidate it or not?
The Shaykh:
No, it does no harm. If you comb your beard or your head and something falls out, whether it is kohl or anything else, it does no harm. This is dead hair. Yes.
The questioner:
Lux soap, Manil Fair.
The Shaykh:
It is called a perfume. If you use it, it is not called a perfume, but if you leave it out of caution and use the other soap and other things, the other places, it is from the category of leaving what is befitting for you. There is no harm in that; it is up to you. Otherwise, it is not the sleeping perfume. Yes.
The questioner:
Mint, saffron.
The Shaykh:
Sleeping with a perfume. Saffron is a perfume. It does not become fragrant with saffron, neither in its scent nor otherwise, as long as he is in ihram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No one should use saffron." And this is a warning. Saffron is a perfume, and among its benefits is that it is a perfume. Yes.
