The questioner : What is the ruling on cleaning oneself for a person in the state of ihram with soap and scented shampoo?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with that, because it is permissible for a person in the state of ihram to take a bath, as it is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a bath while in the state of ihram. As for the shampoo, it appears that its scent is not a perfume, but rather a pleasant flavor or aroma, like that of mint or apple leaves and the like. Yes.
