Question 615) - What is the penalty for the Muhrim who applies fragrance to his clothing?

A: Damm is Wajib if he applies it to the clothing he is wearing or clothing he then puts on; and the applied area is more than a hand- span by a hand-span; and the time he wears it is complete day or night. If it is a hand-span by a hand-span then and he wears it for a day or night then he must pay Sadaqah. If less than that then a handful of wheat. This is if the fragrance is little. If it is a lot then Damm is Wajib even if the less than a hand-span of the cloth was afflicted. [Raddul Muhtar [201/2)]
