Summary
Commercially sold liquid perfume spray cannot be used to remove light, medium or heavy najis according to the Shafie school. It serves only to remove bad odours and freshen the surroundings. An area touched by najis must be purified with absolute water until the substance and its traits of smell, colour and taste are gone, and only then may the perfume be sprayed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, mana-mana tempat yang terkena najis hendaklah disucikan dengan menggunakan air mutlak sehingga hilang ain najis tersebut dan juga sifat-sifatnya iaitu bau, warna, dan rasa.
