Chapter 18

The use of perfume while assuming Ihram

باب الطِّيبِ عِنْدَ الإِحْرَامِ

And Ibn ‘Abbas رضي الله عنهما stated, “A Muhrim may smell sweet basil, and he may look at the mirror and can be treated with ordinary edible oil and butter.” And ‘Ata’ said, “A Muhrim may wear a ring and the Himyan (a belt with a purse to keep one’s money).” And Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما performed the Tawaf while he was Muhrim, with a piece of cloth tied round his belly. And ‘Aisha found no harm in wearing Tubban (short trousers) by those who fixed her Howdah.
وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَشَمُّ الْمُحْرِمُ الرَّيْحَانَ وَيَنْظُرُ فِي الْمِرْآةِ، وَيَتَدَاوَى بِمَا يَأْكُلُ الزَّيْتَ وَالسَّمْنَ. وَقَالَ عَطَاءٌ يَتَخَتَّمُ وَيَلْبَسُ الْهِمْيَانَ. وَطَافَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ، وَقَدْ حَزَمَ عَلَى بَطْنِهِ بِثَوْبٍ. وَلَمْ تَرَ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا بِالتُّبَّانِ بَأْسًا لِلَّذِينَ يَرْحَلُونَ هَوْدَجَهَا.
Sahih al-Bukhari 1539
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أُطَيِّبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لإِحْرَامِهِ حِينَ يُحْرِمُ، وَلِحِلِّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ‏.‏
`Aisha:

(the wife of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) I used to scent Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he wanted to assume Ihram and also on finishing Ihram before the Tawaf round the Ka`ba (Tawaf-al-ifada).
