Question:
He says: I performed Hajj some time ago, immediately after reaching the age of maturity. After I entered the state of ihram, one of the brothers gave me perfume. I was shy of him, but I applied it after I had made the intention for 'Umrah and Hajj. Do I owe anything?
Answer:
Yes. If you knew that it is not permissible for a person in ihram to use perfume and you did it, there is no shyness in matters of religion; there is no shyness in them. If you applied perfume while knowing that it is not permissible for a person in ihram to do so, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment). You have a choice in it: either slaughter a sheep in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, or feed six poor people, giving each poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) within the Haram, or fast for three days. You have a choice. Yes.
