What is the difference between smelling and using incense smoke?

The questioner : A questioner says: A questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the difference between smelling and using incense smoke? I placed the incense burner under my clothes, and it is known that the smoke of the incense will rise, as evidenced by the fact that its scent enters my nose. Is it more cautious to refrain from using incense smoke to block the means to harm?

The Shaykh : There is no doubt that incense is pleasant, and its scent is good, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) loved what is pleasant. So a person is commanded to use what is pleasant, whether in incense or oils, and there is no blame on him. As long as a person does not intend to let the smoke enter his body, if it exits without intention, there is nothing wrong with it. Just as a person says, "Rinse your mouth," and if water enters your body from the rinsing without intention, you owe nothing.
