The Time of Applying Perfume for the One in Ihram and the Expiation for Transgressing

Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, when does the one in ihram apply perfume? Is it before entering the rites? And if he applies perfume after entering ihram, what is required of him?

Answer:
Applying perfume is done before entering the rites. One takes a bath and removes what needs to be removed from the hair that is prescribed to be removed, such as trimming the mustache, removing hair from the sides, and removing pubic hair. All that needs to be taken, and one is bothered by its remaining, from these matters, as well as trimming long nails, all of this is done before entering ihram.
And he applies perfume to his body before entering ihram. He applies it to his body only and does not apply it to the clothes of ihram. As for if he applies perfume after entering ihram intentionally and knowing that applying perfume is not permissible for the one in ihram, then the expiation is upon him: feeding six poor people, half a sa' for each poor person, or fasting three days, or slaughtering a sheep, or the choice is given to him. Yes.
