It is forbidden for the one in ihram to use perfume: It is not permissible for the one in ihram to use perfume, neither on his clothing, nor on his body, nor on his food, nor on his drink, whether he is a man or a woman.

It is forbidden for the one in ihram to use perfume: It is not permissible for the one in ihram to use perfume, neither on his clothing, nor on his body, nor on his food, nor on his drink, whether he is a man or a woman. Once the ihram is contracted, perfume becomes forbidden for him. The evidence for this is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the man whose mount gored him,He said: (Do not embalm him) and embalming is perfuming the deceased; because when a person dies, they prepare for him an embalmment,Meaning: a mixture of perfumes, which is placed in cotton and then put on his eyes, or on his nose, or on his private parts, until he is transported to his grave in the best state of purity, cleanliness, and perfuming. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) even said to the women who were washing his daughter: (Wash her three times, or five times, or seven times, or more than that if you see fit, and put in the last wash camphor) .
This indicates that we clean the deceased thoroughly, then we place the embalmment on him, then we wrap him in his shroud,But his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): (Do not embalm him) meaning: do not perfume him, indicates that the one in ihram does not perfume himself, and he is in that state,And another evidence is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): (And do not wear a garment touched by saffron or warsh) If the one in ihram perfumes himself before entering ihram and the trace of the perfume remains on him after the ihram, it does not harm him. Rather, it is recommended for the one in ihram, when he takes a ghusl before wearing the ihram garments and before contracting the intention, to perfume his head and use a lot of perfume on it, and likewise his beard,Due to the saying of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): (I used to see the sheen of musk in the partings of the hair of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in ihram) .
So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had hair that reached his shoulders and sometimes the lobes of his ears, and he would part it in a parting on the forehead, and partings on the sides, and he would put perfume in it, and he would use a lot of perfume, so the sheen of the musk would be seen in his partings,Meaning: its saliva and its shine while he was in ihram,If a person says: If I perfume my head and perform wudu, what should I do? Because if I perform wudu, I will touch my head, and if I wipe my head, I will touch the perfume. Does this cause harm?We say: This does not cause harm; because you did not put new perfume on your body after the ihram. Yes, if we suppose that a person intends to take some of the perfume on his head and perfume the rest of his body with it, then that is forbidden. But if it is without intention, and you merely perform wudu and your hand touches the perfume, then this does not cause harm.
