The Shaykh : All these wordings in these contexts indicate what was mentioned previously, but in some of them it is mentioned:. Hanut is a type of perfume that is placed on the deceased, applied to the eyes, nose, and mouth, and in the armpits. From this, it is derived that perfume is forbidden for the one in ihram.
