What is the ruling on washing with soap for a person in ihram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: When I arrived in Makkah, I washed with soap. Do I owe anything, and did I put on the ihram again?

Answer:
If the soap does not have a pleasant scent, there is nothing wrong with it. You may wash with soap, and wash with detergents that do not have a pleasant scent; there is nothing wrong with that. However, if it contains perfume, you must avoid it. You must avoid perfumed soap or perfumed shampoo, and all perfumes, while you are in ihram. As for what has already passed, there is no blame on you if you did it while forgetting or being ignorant. Yes.
