English translation

417. It was narrated from Ibrâhîm bin Muḥammad bin Al-Muntashir that his father said: "I heard Ibn 'Umar say: 'I would rather wake up in the morning covered in tar than wake up and enter Iḥrâm with the smell of perfume coming from me.' I entered upon Āishah and told her what he had said, and she said: 'I put perfume on the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he went round to all his wives, then in the morning he entered Iḥrâm.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

417 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ وَكِيعٍ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ وَسُفْيَانَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ: لَأَنْ أُصْبِحَ مُطَّلِيًا بِقَطِرَانٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُصْبِحَ مُحْرِمًا أَنَضَخُ طِيبًا، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِقَوْلِهِ فَقَالَتْ: «طَيَّبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَطَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ، ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ مُحْرِمًا»

Commentary

The issue is contentious: If one applies perfume before entering into Ihrâm - the state of pilgrim sanctity - its fragrance thereupon lingers even after having one's taking the bath, so the question arises: does this situation negate the state of consecration of the pilgrim (the Ihrâm)? Ibn Umar used to consider it its negation. But 'Aishah رضي الله عنها made it clear that while using perfume in the state of is not permitted, the lingering scent of the perfume applied before donning the Ihrâm is not forbidden.
