Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin al-Muntashir narrates from his father (Muhammad bin al-Muntashir), who said: I asked Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about a man who applies perfume and then enters ihram. He said: "I would not like to become a muhrim while giving off the scent of perfume; if I were to smear myself with saffron, that would be dearer to me than this." Then Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "I applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) near the time of his ihram; then he went round to his wives, and then he entered ihram."
