Using Perfume
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Among the prohibitions of ihram: Perfume.
It is not permissible for a person to apply perfume after entering the state of ihram. As for any perfume that remains from what he applied before entering the state of ihram, it does no harm.The evidence for the prohibition of perfume on a person in ihram: The story of the man whose mount fell on him while he was standing at 'Arafah,Meaning: He was on his camel and fell and died. They came to seek a ruling from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said to them: (Wash him with water and sidr, and shroud him in his two garments, do not cover his head, and do not apply incense to him) Four things: First: Wash him with water and sidr.
Second: Shroud him in his two garments,Meaning: In his ihram garments. Do not shroud him in a new shroud, no. He is shrouded in his ihram garments, just as a martyr is buried in the clothes in which he was martyred.
The third: Do not cover his head.
And the fourth: Do not apply incense to him,The incense (hanut): Mixtures of perfume that are placed on the body of the deceased in known locations.
Then he said: (For he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection while calling out the talbiyah) He will come out of his grave saying: Labbaik Allahumma labbaik, labbaik la sharika laka labbaik.
So, perfume on a person in ihram is forbidden if it is after entering the state of ihram. As for perfume that he applied before entering the state of ihram, there is nothing wrong with it, and he is not required to remove it.The evidence for this: The statement of 'A'ishah (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 and his family) while he was in ihram) (Sheen) means: its saliva and its shine.
This is among the prohibitions of ihram.
