Other Rulings on Ihram

Question No. 10:

What is the directive regarding the person who feels coming out of Madhi (Precoital fluid) or dropping of urine during his Ihram or when he is going to pray?


Answer No. 10:

In such a case the believer must perform ablution (Wudhu) at the time of prayer. He should clean his organ from Madhi or urine. In case of "Madhi" he must wash his organ and the two FLUFFY; in case of urine he should wash only that part of organ, which touched the urine. Then he should perform ablution for the prayer, if there is any time for prayer. If the time is not a prayer time he may delay it till the time of prayer. But all these should be based on assurance not on suspicion. If it is a case of suspicion, he should throw it out of his mind to avoid being a victim of suspicions in his life. There are so many persons who become the victims of suspicions. They suppose that some thing has come out of them while nothing as such happens. He should not habituate himself to such suspicions. He should avoid it and throw it out of his mind to avoid being suffered from it. If he is afraid of such a thing he should sprinkle some water around his sexual organ after accomplishing the ablution. It makes him suppose the suspicions occurred to his mind that these are resulted from water. Thus he can save himself from the evil of such suspicion.

Question No. 12:

What is the directive rule regarding the application of perfumes on the clothes of Ihram prior to make intention and reciting "Talbeyah"?


Answer No. 12:

The pilgrim should not apply perfumes on Rida and Izar (The two pieces of cloth for Ihram). The Prophet's Sunnah is to apply scents on his body viz. his head, beard, armpit, and so on, it is not allowed to apply scents on the clothes of Ihram. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) Said: "A Pilgrim should not wear clothes scented with saffron or Wares (two kinds of scents). So, the Sunnah is to apply scents on his body only. No clothes of Ihram should be scented. If they are scented he should not wear them until they are washed or he should change them with other ones.
