What does the Hadiths Say about Perfumes When in Ihram?

• We can measure the importance of not using perfume in the state of ihram in the light of reported Hadith by Abdullah bin Umer, he narrated, “ A man stood up he said, O Messenger of Allah, what should I wear while in a state of pilgrimage? The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ responded, “don't wear a shirt or pants or turban on a hooded cloak, but is someone has no shoes, he may wear leather socks if they are cut lower than his ankles, and don’t wear any perfume or fragrance. For women, they should not cover their face or wear gloves in the state of pilgrimage”.
• According to the reference of Jami’ at-Tirmidhi, “A man stood and said, “O Messenger of Allah! What clothing do you command us to wear in al-Haram? The Messenger of Allah replied, “Do not wear shirts, no pants, nor burnooses, or turbans, or khuff, unless one doesn’t have any sandals, then let him wear Khuff, but let him cut them below the ankles. And do not wear any cloth that has been touched by saffron or Wars (Perfumes). And the women in Ihram are not allowed to cover their faces, and gloves to cover their hands.
• The source of the following Hadith is Sahih Bukhari, and it is narrated by Abdullah Bin Umar. A man said, “O Allah’s Apostle, what type of clothes should Muhrim wear to which Allah’s Apostle Muhammad ﷺ replies, “ Do not wear shirts, turbans, trousers, hooded cloaks or kuffs; but if someone does not have sandals, then he can wear Khuffs but cut them short below the ankles before you wear them. Do not wear such clothes which are touched by Saffron or wars (two kinds of perfumes that people used to use back then).
