What is the ruling on one who intentionally applies perfume while in the state of ihram?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Among these is washing the perfume off with one’s hand for the person in ihram.
The Shaykh : Washing the perfume off with one’s hand for the person in ihram, whether done early or late.
The questioner : Among these is washing the perfume off with one’s hand for the person in ihram, which is permissible; because leaving off the perfume has no action associated with it.
The Shaykh : Because leaving off the perfume is a copy, and it is permissible for the perfume, a shorter copy,
The questioner : It is permissible because of leaving off the perfume.
The Shaykh : Because. Because. Yes. Because. Because it is leaving off the perfume or the application of perfume.
The questioner : Because leaving off the perfume has no action associated with it. The companions of the school mentioned it and cited as evidence the hadith in which a man entered the state of ihram while wearing perfume, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to wash it off. However, this man was ignorant of the ruling, so he is like one who applied perfume after entering the state of ihram while forgetting; in that case, he washes it off without any disagreement. Many of the companions of the school, such as al-Qadi and others, restricted the ruling to the one who forgot, and held that the one who did it intentionally is different, as this is derived from the disagreement of the predecessors regarding it being a sin. The correct view is to generalize the ruling, because the direct contact with the action was only permissible out of necessity to exit from it, and the person in ihram has no necessity in washing it with his hand. When the Lawgiver permitted it, it indicated that direct contact with the perfume for the purpose of removing it and treating it is not guaranteed.
The Shaykh : Correct, but the author did not address the issue of the expiation, may Allah have mercy on him. It is known that one who intentionally applies perfume owes an expiation for harm: either charity of three sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for six poor people, with each poor person receiving half a sa', or fasting for three days, or slaughtering a sheep to be distributed to the poor.
The questioner : Yes.
