Answer: To smell the fragrance of these things deliberately is Makrūĥ.
However, it is allowed to use them provided the fragrance applied
to them would not come into contact with the Iḥrām or the body but
it is obviously very difficult to protect the body or the Iḥrām from
fragrance when using rosary or handkerchief. Therefore, it is safer
to avoid using these things.
Question 8: Before making the intention of Iḥrām, if someone puts
fragrance-applied two or three extra shawls onto his lap or wears
them and, after making the intention of Iḥrām, removes the extra
ones; can he use those shawls in the state of that Iḥrām
Answer: If the liquid form of the fragrance still exists, those shawls
cannot be used. However, if no liquid form exists, only fragrance
emanates from them, one can use them in this case but it is still
Makrūĥ Tanzīĥī. Ṣadr-ush-Sharī’aĥ
has stated: If someone
has applied fragrance to shawls etc. before the intention of Iḥrām
and has used them in the state of Iḥrām, it is Makrūĥ to do so but
no expiation will be due. (ibid, pp. 1125)
Question 9: If one or both the shawls of Iḥrām become unclean
out of nocturnal emission or any other reason, two other shawls are
available, but fragrance had been applied to them before, can
Muḥrim use them
Answer: If the liquid form of the fragrance or its coating still exists,
Muḥrim cannot wear those shawls. If he wears them expiation will
be due. However, if no coating of fragrance exists, Muḥrim can use
them even if fragrance is emanating from them. However, it is still
Makrūĥ Tanzīĥī to use such shawls without a Shar’ī reason. Islamic
jurists have stated: It is impermissible in the state of Iḥrām to wear a
piece of cloth that has a coating of fragrance on it. (‘Ālamgīrī, vol. 1, pp. 222)
