If a perfume falls on a person in ihram unintentionally, is it permissible for him to wash it off and touch it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Regarding perfume: If a person in ihram has perfume fall on him and he did not apply it intentionally after entering the state of ihram, is it permissible for him to wash it off and touch it, or not?

Answer : He must wash it off, and there is no harm in touching it in this case, because he touches it only to remove it, not to use it. If some of it sticks to his hand, there is no blame on him, but he must remove what has stuck. This is if it fell on him without intention or action on his part.
