Cosmetics during Umrah and Hajj

18/10/2009| IslamWeb

Question: I am going to Hajj this year and I have white patch on my face. I use cover cream to hide it for long time. It contain no smell, it is natural mineral oil, brown in colour. Is it okay to put it before harm and to do my Umrah and Hajj?

Fatwa: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Using perfume is prohibited during the state of Ihram. As long as the cream you use does not contain perfume and does not smell as perfumes, there is no harm in using it during Ihram.

Allah Knows best.
