Re: [fiqh-hanafi:2] Using Fragrance in Ahraam and Halaq in Jeddah

Question:
1. A person used Fragrance (perfume) on his Ahraam for ^Umrah. But later (after coming back from ^Umrah), learnt that it is forbidden to use perfume once in Ahraam. What he should do now?

Answer: He must slaughter a sheep for each separate time he put perfume while in iĥraam. The slaughtering must be made in the Haram area in Makkah, by the person himself, or someone he has appointed to do it for him.

Question:
2. The same person on another occasion after ^Umrah went to Jeddah with Ahraam and got his haircut, then got Halaal (changed his Ahraam). Is this allowed or he should have got his hair cut within the Haram area? If he was incorrect, how to compensate for it?

Answer: He must slaughter a sheep for having cut his hair outside the Ĥaram area. The slaughtering must be made in the Haram area in Makkah, by the person himself, or someone he has appointed to do it for him.
