Burning Lobaan

Question

At which times should Lobaan be burnt in the house and Masjid?

Answer

We were not able to locate any narration that states a specific time when Loban should be burnt. The narration of Nasai’ee states that Ibn Umar Radiallahu Anhu used to fragrance (the place) with Oud without scent, and camphor which he used to throw with the Oud. He would then say, “This is how Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would fragrance the place (using Oud).
