The questioner : What is the ruling on using wet wipes scented with perfume, as well as toothpaste and soap?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to use wet wipes scented with perfume while in the state of ihram, except after performing the first exit from ihram by stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah and shaving or cutting the hair. As for toothpaste, there is nothing wrong with using it, because its scent is not the scent of perfume, but rather a pleasant aroma and a good flavor. Likewise, there is nothing wrong with using soap, because it is not a perfume or a scenting agent. However, it has a pleasant, fresh aroma intended to remove any odor that may stick to the hand, which might be unpleasant.
