Question
Can a person use non-scented creams whilst in the state of Ihraam?
Answer
A person may use non-scented creams whilst in the state of Ihraam. However, one should abstain from its usage without a valid reason, as the essence of Ihraam is to remain in an unkempt state and manifest one’s weakness and submissiveness.
