It is not permissible to perfume the ihram garments
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Some people, when they want to enter ihram, apply perfume to their bodies and heads, and they apply perfume to the ihram garments, then they put them on and enter ihram. What is the ruling on that?.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to applying perfume to the head and body, this is Sunnah and was narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). This has been discussed in the answer to question number 13819.
With regard to applying perfume to the ihram garments, this is not permissible because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade the muhrim to wear any garment that had been touched by perfume. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about applying perfume to the ihram garments, and he said:
That is not permissible, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Do not wear any garment that has been perfumed with saffron or wars.” End quote.
Majmoo’ al-Fataawa by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 22/9.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
