The questioner:
He says: I am fourteen years old, and I performed 'Umrah from al-Sayl. However, after I had intended to perform 'Umrah, I was wearing trousers, and I applied perfume to my ihram garments. But after I learned about the prohibition regarding perfume, I changed my ihram garments. So, is there anything required of me regarding the perfume?
The Shaykh:
As long as you applied perfume while ignorant, and then when you learned, you washed off the perfume, there is nothing required of you.[Al-Baqarah 2:286] The ignorant person is not held accountable, as long as you washed off the perfume or replaced the garment with another one, there is nothing required of you. Yes.
The questioner:
And regarding the trousers.
The Shaykh:
Trousers are the same; if you wore them while forgetting or ignorant, and then when you learned, you took them off, there is nothing required of you. Yes.

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
