The questioner:
The soap is defective, the money is the file.
The Shaykh:
If it is not called perfume, using it is not called using perfume, but if you leave it out of caution, and use the other soap and other things and the other handkerchiefs, from the perspective of "let us answer you," there is no harm. This is up to you, even if it is not called perfume.
The questioner:
Mint, saffron.
The Shaykh:
If you scent yourself with perfume, saffron is perfume. Do not scent yourself with saffron, not in its scent or otherwise, as long as you are in ihram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: and that is the eyelashes. Saffron is perfume. As for scenting yourself with perfume, yes.

لا تلبسوا شيء من التمسك بالزعفران،
