The ruling on using scented soap for a person in ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Praise be to Allah. The brother Abu Salim from Jeddah asks: Is it permissible to use scented soap while a person is in the state of ihram?
Answer:
No, anything that contains a pleasant scent is not permissible for him to use while he is in the state of ihram; because its scent clings to the hand and the body of the person in ihram, and he finds it to have a strong fragrance, so he should avoid this. As for cleaning oneself with unscented soap, or with substances that do not contain perfume, such as shampoo and the like of cleansers that do not contain perfume, there is nothing wrong with that.
