Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Is it permissible for a person in the state of ihram to drink coffee containing al-‘Uwayji and tea containing mint?
The Shaykh : Yes, he asks if it is permissible for a person in the state of ihram to drink coffee containing al-‘Uwayji. Do you know what al-‘Uwayji is?
The student: Saffron.
The Shaykh : Yes, he says it is cloves. We seek refuge in Allah from cloves. The correct term for all of this is cloves. Yes, it is permissible, because this is a pleasant scent, not a fragrant scent. As for the one containing mint, there is no harm in it either, because this falls under the category of a pleasant scent, not a fragrant scent.
