Ruling on the use of soap and shampoo by a person in the state of ihram for the purpose of scent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on cleaning oneself for a person in the state of ihram using soap and shampoo for the purpose of scent?
There is nothing wrong with that; because it is permissible for a person in the state of ihram to take a full ritual bath, as it is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to take a full ritual bath while in the state of ihram. As for shampoo, it appears that its scent is not a fragrant perfume, but rather a pleasant flavor, a flavor that is pleasing to the soul, as seen in mint and apple leaves and the like.
The questioner: If it is made from rose, like jasmine, for example?The Shaykh: The important point is that if it is a perfume, it is not permissible for a person in the state of ihram to use it.
