Ruling on using agarwood incense as a treatment for chest tightness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman bought "smoke" from agarwood from another woman, and said to her: Smoke it for me when you feel tightness, or when one of your children cries?
Answer:
The usual agarwood and the usual smoke?
Q: It is usual agarwood, and Allah knows best, whether there is something in it or not, but its use is strange. She said: Smoke it for me if you feel tightness or if one of the children cries?
A: I say: I do not know of any basis for this. Perfume is undoubtedly something that opens the chest, benefits, and pleases the soul, whether it is agarwood, rose, amber, or musk; it is a perfume. If this is the intention, and if the intention is something else—another belief—then this is invalid. She should be asked: What is her intention?
Q: Is this woman treating?
A: She should be asked: What is her intention with this statement? If her intention is that perfume is good, and that it expands the mind, opens the chest, and is better than the unpleasant smell and things that are not pleasant; then there is no harm.
