Applying Perfume Forgetfully After Tawaf and Before Sa'y

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I came to perform 'Umrah, and after the tawaf, the time for prayer arrived, so we sat waiting for the iqamah. A brother came in giving off a scent, so I extended my hand to him forgetfully, and he perfumed me before the sa'y. Is there anything required of me?

Answer:
You owe nothing, as long as you were unaware, you owe nothing. Allah the Exalted says: We have been distracted. It is authentically narrated from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Allah says, I have done it. So if a person applies perfume while unaware, or cuts his hair while unaware, or cuts from the back of his head while unaware, he owes nothing, praise be to Allah. Or if he is ignorant of the legal ruling, it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that a man entered the state of ihram wearing a jacket, and he had applied perfume to it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told him to remove the jacket and to remove the perfume that had spread on it, and he did not order him to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) because of his ignorance. Yes.

May Allah reward you with good.
