Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. This questioner also has a question: 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 on the body only, not on the clothes of ihram; it is done on the body, and it is done before entering ihram when one takes a bath and cleans oneself. So he applies perfume to his body, then he enters ihram. It is not permissible to apply perfume after the intention of ihram, and after the intention of entering the rites. This is one of the prohibitions of ihram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the man whose mount gored him, and what he (peace and blessings be upon him) said was:Sahih Ibn Hibban 15:276
The point is in his saying, "and do not apply perfume to him." So the one in ihram does not apply perfume to himself, nor does he have perfume applied to him, as long as he is in ihram. And if he does so while ignorant or forgetful, there is no blame on him, but he washes the perfume off; he washes the perfume off his body or from his ihram clothes. Yes.

Shroud him in his two garments, and do not cover his head, and do not apply perfume to him, for he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection while chanting the talbiyah.
كفنوه في ثوبيه، ولا تخمروا رأسه، ولا تمسوه طيبا، فإنه يبعث يوم القيامة ملبيا.The point is in his saying, "and do not apply perfume to him."
