The questioner : What is the meaning of the Messenger of Allah’s (peace and blessings be upon him) statement in the hadith in which he mentioned three people to whom Allah will not look – and among them was mentioned – a man who has applied perfume?
The Shaykh : Is there a hadith about them?
The questioner : Yes, ...
The Shaykh : “Mutadammikh” – are you arrogant? Is the word “tadammukh” [used]?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : “Mutadammikh” with perfume?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : “And a man who has applied perfume” – is this the wording of the hadith, “with perfume,” or “with khaluq”?
The questioner : No, it is “with perfume.”
The Shaykh : What is meant by it is a type of perfume called khaluq. It is a perfume compounded with materials containing saffron and other things. It is the perfume of women, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the use of this perfume. This... this perfume is considered to be from the perfumes of women. This is the answer.
