Is there a specific prayer for entering the state of ihram?

The questioner : The questioner asks: Is there a specific prayer for entering the state of ihram?

The Shaykh : The answer is that there is no prayer specific to it. However, if a person reaches the miqat and is close to the time of an obligatory prayer, it is better to delay entering the state of ihram until he prays the obligatory prayer. Then he performs the ghusl, as one who has major ritual impurity performs ghusl. He applies perfume and wears the clothes of ihram. Then, if he wishes to pray the Dhuha prayer, provided it is the time for Dhuha, or to pray the Sunnah of wudu' if it is not the time for Dhuha, and he prays the Sunnah of wudu' and then enters the state of ihram, there is no blame on him. As for there being a specific prayer for entering the state of ihram, that has not been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Peace be upon you. There is not much in it. No, he does not apply perfume to his head or his body.
