QUESTION:
People recommended using petroleum jelly around the inner thighs to avoid chafing when walking during Hajj. When I bring my nose very close to the product, I can smell a subtle chemical-type of scent. Will it be permissible to apply petroleum jelly to the body in Ihraam if it has this smell.
ANSWER:
There is no harm using unscented petroleum jelly during Ihraam.
ALLAH TA’ALA ALONE IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST!
