Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And other than that, drinking shahi from sharan, or feeding, or discharging in sharan, or polishing from light, and likewise the congregation.
The Shaykh:
And it is better to avoid them, because they leave a scent on the person, so avoiding them during the state of ihram is safer. Yes.
The questioner:
The issue of the Shaykh using the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to the believer, whether he says that he has been satisfied with it or that he heard it from another source.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible; it is not permissible for a person in ihram to use anything containing perfume, such as tissues or the like, because the perfume in them clings to the hand and leaves an effect on the person in ihram, so it is not permissible for him to use it. He should even avoid scented soap, because the scent of perfume remains on his hands. Yes.
