The questioner:
It was said that we should be surprised before the feeding, then we return to the feeding, so the perfume is after the feeding, and that is completed, and that perfume is completed, that he has something because he read, he says, then after the feeding it became the day of perfume, and he returned to feeding the perfume, so he has perfume before the feeding.
The Shaykh:
We said and repeated that if a person in ihram applies perfume before entering ihram and the scent of the perfume remains on his body, it does not harm him, and if he smells it, there is no harm in that, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to apply perfume before his ihram, and the scent of the perfume would remain on him, and he would not remove it after entering ihram, (peace and blessings be upon him).
And what is forbidden is intentionally smelling the perfume that is not on his body, smelling a perfume that is outside of you and you intentionally smell it, as for the perfume that was on your body before ihram and remained on you, this is not a violation, did it not exist on the body of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in ihram, and he did not wash it off.
