What is the ruling on using scented soap for one in the state of ihram?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, is the scented soap a perfume?
The Shaykh : Scented soap apparently does not contain perfume, but it has a scent or fragrance.
The student: But is there a difference, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : If there is a difference, then each has its own ruling. As for the one that contains perfume and a person takes pleasure in its scent, meaning he smells it like a perfume, then it is not permissible to use it. As for the one that has merely a scent for the purpose of removing odors that have stuck to the hand, then there is nothing wrong with it.
