حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ فَرْقَدٍ السَّبَخِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَدَّهِنُ رَأْسَهُ بِالزَّيْتِ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ ، غَيْرَ الْمُقَتَّتِ " .
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to put oil on his head when he was in the state of Ihram, but not oil that was perfumed.

Benefits and Issues:
The aforementioned narration is considered weak in its chain of transmission (isnad) according to most researchers; however, the same matter is established in Sahih al-Bukhari from Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu in a mawquf (companion-stopped) form. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Hajj, Chapter: Perfume at the time of Ihram, Hadith: 1537)
Thus, in the state of ihram, it is permissible to use such oil in which there is no mixture of fragrance or similar substances, whereas it is prohibited to apply perfume or perfumed oil while in the state of ihram.
However, before entering into ihram, it is also permissible to use perfume and similar substances, as narrated from Aisha radi Allahu anha that she applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam before he entered into ihram.

Commentary: 1؎ :
From this hadith, it is understood that for a person in the state of ihram, it is permissible to apply olive oil in which there is no mixture of fragrance.
However, the hadith is weak.
Note:
(In the chain of narration, Farqad Sabkhi is a weak narrator and is frequently mistaken) (It has also been narrated by al-Bukhari in his Sahih, Book of Hajj 18 (1537), as a mawquf narration from Ibn Umar, and that is more authentic.)
