Using scented soap when shaving the head after 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: If I have performed 'Umrah, circumambulated the Ka'bah, and walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then I go to the barber,
The Shaykh:
Did you circumambulate? Did you circumambulate, or did you not?
The questioner:
I go to the barber, and the first thing he usually puts on the head is scented soap before he starts shaving. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
As long as he shaves immediately and uses this and runs the razor with it, there is no harm. But if he puts this on and delays the razor, this is not permissible.
