Kissing the Black Stone by a person in ihram if it has been perfumed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the Black Stone is perfumed with fragrance, is it permissible for a person in ihram to kiss it and touch it?

Answer:
Yes, and it does not harm him that the fragrance is on the stone and that it has a scent; this does not harm the person in ihram. Yes. What is forbidden is for the person in ihram to perfume himself; the person in ihram does not perfume himself. Yes.
