Question:
Is there any ikhtilaf (difference of opinion) on washing the palm of your hand with scented soap necessitating a dam?
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
If a person has used scented soap on his entire hand or more than a quarter of it, this will necessitate a “dam.”[1]
The reason for this is because a person’s condition in Hajj should be that of complete humility and submission out of love towards Allah, and by applying or using scented products this quality is not found.[2]
Only Allah knows best
