Arabic text

٢٧٠٦ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ ‌إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَتَزَعْفَرَ الرَّجُلُ».

Commentary

This is because saffron is a fragrance and a color, and application of colored stuff as a means of beautification for men is not allowed. Therefore, in no circumstance is the use of saffron appropriate for men. In the state of Ihrâm, its use would be forbidden.
