Muhammad bin Muntashir asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about applying perfume at the time of Ihram. He said: If I were to apply sulphur, that would be more preferable to me than applying perfume. Then he asked this issue to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and also told her what Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had said. So she said: May Allah have mercy on Abu Abdur Rahman. I myself used to apply perfume to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then he would go to his wives, and when he would enter into Ihram in the morning, the fragrance of perfume would be emanating from him.
