Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah believes that there is nothing wrong with perfumes for the fasting person. Because it existed at the time of the Messenger – may God bless him and grant him peace – and it was not proven in any way that he forbade it. If it broke the fast, he would have forbade it, despite the fact that incense rises to the nose and enters the brain.
Some jurists have reservations about perfumes that are dissolved in alcohol, by virtue of the fact that they have a substance that evaporates, so the intention of the fasting person is to smell them by putting them on his nose; break his fast; And they measured it against the smoke, which they said: It breaks the fast; Because it gives the body pleasure like eating and drinking, as well as perfumes.
As for natural scents such as roses and jasmine, there is nothing wrong with smelling them during the day in Ramadan, although it is better not to do so. In order to achieve the wisdom of fasting, and all this when intentionally and intentionally smelling. As for when you do not intend to pass through its stores; or to sit with the makers, or to walk in the flower-gardens, there is no harm; Because it is fragrant air, and avoiding that involves hardship and ease.
And the Secretary of the Fatwa at the Egyptian Dar Al Iftaa, Dr. Ahmed Wissam, confirms that there is nothing wrong with perfuming during fasting and it does not invalidate the fast as long as the fasting person does not deliberately enter any of the perfume into the stomach.
His Eminence Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Baz went to the point that incense and perfume do not break the fast, and the fasting person has the right to perfume or evaporate and not break his fast, except that he does not inhale incense as a precaution and to get out of the dispute, so he does not inhale it; Rather, he perfumes his clothes and body with roses, with the oil of oud, with incense, and he does not inhale the incense.
