Perfume in Ihram(الطيب في الإحرام) The prohibition of using perfume, fragrance, cologne, or any scented substance while in the state of ihram. This is one of the key restrictions that apply to both male and female hacilar during Hac and Umre.
الطيب في الإحرام
The prohibition of perfume during ihram is based on the hadith of Hz. Peygamber Muhammad (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) who instructed hacilar not to apply perfume after entering ihram. This restriction covers all forms of fragrance including cologne, scented oils, perfumed soap, scented lotions, and incense. However, it is sunnah to apply perfume to the body (not the ihram garments) before making the intention for ihram. If a haci accidentally uses perfume, they should wash it off immediately. Intentional use requires fidyah — which involves fasting three days, feeding six poor people, or sacrificing a sheep, according to the Hanbali and other schools. Unscented hygiene products are permitted.
