Offences and their Expiations 211
It is stated in Baĥār-e-Sharī’at: If he applied fragrance [to those
shawls] before he put on Iḥrām and has put on those shawls in the
state of Iḥrām, it is Makrūĥ to do so but no expiation is due. (Baĥār-e-
Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 1165)
Question 10: If fragrance comes into contact with a Muḥrim whilst
he was kissing Ḥajar-ul-Aswad or touching Rukn Yamānī or clinging
to Multazam, what should he do
Answer: If a significant amount of fragrance has come into contact,
Dam will have to be paid. If small amount of fragrance has come into
contact Ṣadaqaĥ will have to be given. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 1165)
(Muḥrim should make someone else judge whether much amount
or small amount of fragrance has come into contact with him. As
there is the expiation of Dam in case of much amount of fragrance
coming into contact, Muḥrim’s Nafs may well declare much amount
as small amount.)
Question 11: Can a Muḥrim smell a fragrant flower or not
Answer: No. It is Makrūĥ Tanzīĥī for the Muḥrim to deliberately
smell fragrance or any fragrant thing. However, there is no expiation.
(ibid, pp. 1163)
Question 12: How is it to eat uncooked cardamom or silver-coated
seeds of cardamom
Answer: No. It is Ḥarām. If the Muḥrim eats pure fragrance such as
musk, saffron, cardamom, clove or cinnamon in so much amount
that it comes into contact with most part of the mouth, Dam will be
Wājib. If the fragrance comes into contact with lesser part of the
mouth, Ṣadaqaĥ will be Wājib. (ibid, pp. 1164)
