3041. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "When you have stoned the Pillar, everything becomes permissible to you except your wives. A man said to him: 'O Ibn 'Abbâs, and perfume?' He said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ perfume his head with musk. Is that perfume or not?'" (Sahih)

Commentary
a. There are four rites on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah: 1) Throwing pebbles on the big Pillar. 2) Offering sacrifice. 3) Shaving one's head. 4) Performing Tawâf Ifâdah. Performance of these rites in this sequence is Sunnah. However, the Hajj is valid even if the sequence of these acts is not observed, and there is no expiation or the like due.
b. Throwing pebbles is the first deed. After doing it one comes out of the state of Ihrâm. So, the Tawâf of Ifâdah is performed in normal clothes.
c. Before performing Tawâf Ifâdah, enjoying one's wife is forbidden.
d. If Tawâf Ifâdah could not be performed on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, then it could be performed later. In any case, approaching one's wife sexually is forbidden until one performs this Tawâf.
e. A man can apply any kind of perfume provided he has removed his Ihrâm.
