The Prophet ﷺexplained the rulings pertaining to Hajj and ‘Umrah and their recommended acts and etiquettes both verbally and practically. And the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted all that they heard and witnessed from him ﷺconcerning this. The Messenger ﷺloved perfume and used it excessively at all times, as it was from the things that was made beloved to him of the worldly matters. In this hadeeth, ‘Aaishah, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her) reports that she applied the fragrance with her hands on the Prophet ﷺwhen he assumed the Ihraam, meaning she applied fragrance on him before entering the state of Ihraam and after exiting from his Ihraam in Hajj before performing Tawaaf al-Ifaadah. This refers to the first exit from one’s Ihraam after pelting Jamarah al-‘Aqabah and shaving the hair or shortening the hair. The narrator of the hadeeth says – describing the act of ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her), “She spread her hands,” as if she was relating what she did by practically demonstrating it. It was said: she did that to exaggerate the happening as a refutation against those who negated that because Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to criticise the application of perfume before the Ihraam. This hadeeth teaches us that wearing perfume is among the prohibited things of Ihraam. However, it is permitted to use it before entering into the state of Ihraam even if its effects remain after the entrance into the state of Ihraam..
