The questioner : May Allah reward you, Shaykh. If a person applies perfume and it runs onto his cloak?
The Shaykh : We have mentioned this before.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, but this is not the question. We stated that it is forbidden, and that it must be washed off. Given this, and since he is permitted to perfume his body, should he be prohibited from perfuming his body because it will consequently transfer to his garment?
The Shaykh : No, no. If the perfume seeps into his garment, not his body.
The questioner : If he perfumes his body, will it transfer to his garment?
The Shaykh : Not necessarily, it is not always the case. If it is on his head, it may not reach the cloak.
