Question:
Does bathing with scented soap affect fasting?
Answer:
It does not affect fasting, and there is nothing wrong with a fasting person using perfumes. What is forbidden is incense, because it is smoke that rises to the nose and enters the brain, stimulating the person. That is what is forbidden, but there is nothing wrong with using other liquid perfumes while fasting.
