Note
- There is no penalty if the Itr is applied before saying the Niyyat and Talbiyyah, even though the fragrance may remain for any period of time thereafter.
- Even if the aromatic substance is washed off immediately whilst in the state of Ihraam the stipulated penalty is still applicable.
- The amount specified as a "small quantity" or a "large quantity" will be determined by common law, (i.e. as to that which prevails in the respective community).
- To apply olive oil or sesame oil on wounds or into the nose or ears for medicinal purposes is not a sin and does not attract a Jazaa.
- No penalty is Waajeeb for smelling fragrant flowers, but to do so is Makrooh.
- Whether the area is large or small depends on whether the amount of perfume used is a lot or a little. If the perfume was little, then it will still be considered a lot of perfume if it was applied on a large area, and thus Damm becomes Waajeeb.
- It is Waajeeb to remove the perfume immediately from the Muhrim’s body and if one gives the Kaffaarah and does not wash off the perfume then another penalty becomes Waajeeb. This perfume should be washed off by a non-Muhrim if available. If not, then one can wash it by pouring water over the area without touching it.
