Clarification of the ruling on perfuming and beautifying mosques.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Sometimes there is perfume on the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner.
The Shaykh : Perfume.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is good, meaning, we have not come across in the hadiths of the Messenger (peace be upon him) that we have read and studied this specific perfuming, but we have a general text regarding the incensation of mosques, the incensation of mosques is their perfuming. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded this, so from this perspective, I see no objection to perfuming the corners of the Ka'bah, because the Sacred Mosque, Allah willing, is a very large open area, so it is not possible to perfume it entirely, I mean a simple perfume placed at one end of the mosque, among the known mosques, so I see no objection in that, yes.
