The ruling on a woman who used perfume while in the state of ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a woman who used perfume while in the state of ihram? Does she owe an expiation?

Answer:
If she was forgetful or ignorant, she owes nothing. She should wash off the perfume when she remembers, and she owes nothing. But if she did it intentionally, she has committed a sin, and she is required to wash off the perfume and pay a fidyah (ransom payment), as we mentioned: she has the choice of fasting for three days, feeding six poor people, or slaughtering a sheep in the Haram (sacred precinct) and distributing it to the poor. Yes.
