What is the ruling on a person in ihram touching the Black Stone and the Yemeni Corner, which has perfume on it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I mean, a person in ihram is forbidden from using perfume. So if he wants to touch the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone, this is a point of concern.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is what you meant.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : In his case, this is not a point of concern because he does not intend that. But if those who apply perfume put the perfume on it and it transfers to the hands of the workers or the pilgrims, then the error is with those who apply it, not with these pilgrims or circumambulators. I do not know if perfume is still being placed directly on the Stone and the Corner now.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And did you ever touch the perfume and feel it on your hand?
The questioner: Yes ...
Another questioner : Do they apply perfume after Fajr?
The Shaykh : After Fajr.
Another questioner : ... At a specific time? Does anyone who has perfume apply it himself?
The Shaykh : Who, I mean, from the pilgrims or from the employees?
Another questioner : The employees.
The Shaykh : This is the important point; this is what should not happen. As for these pilgrims, they are ignorant and do not know about it.
The questioner : ... We are talking about the person in ihram, the one in ihram, because you cannot prevent this one or that one.
The Shaykh : So where does this person in ihram get the perfume from?
The questioner : I am not talking about the one who applies perfume; I am talking about the one who touches the perfume.
The Shaykh : I asked you who applies the perfume.
The questioner : There are none... I mean, the people who are present.
The Shaykh : This is the question. When you generalized, the question came up. The professor here says that there are employees who apply perfume after the Fajr prayer. You said no, there is no specific time, and you generalized it to the people. So they apply it like that.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : So I am asking now: a person in ihram wearing an izar and a rida, what perfume is he carrying with him?
The questioner : Not all of them are in ihram, O our Shaykh.
Another questioner : He is not among those in ihram.
The Shaykh : You said it that way. The important thing is that this action is not permissible: applying perfume to this place such that it transfers to the hands of the pilgrims in ihram. This is not what should be done.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is what you meant.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : In his case, this is not a point of concern because he does not intend that.
