Can a Fasting Person Use Fragrance?

❖ Question:​

What is the ruling on using fragrance while fasting during the days of Ramadan?

Answer:

There is no harm in smelling or using perfume during the days of Ramadan, as long as it is not incense (bukhoor).

This is because bukhoor produces smoke, which contains physical particles that may reach the stomach, thereby affecting the fast.
