IRSYAD HUKUM HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE-33 : MEMAKAI DEODORAN KERANA TIDAK TAHU PERLU MENJAGA PANTANG LARANG SELEPAS NIAT BERSYARAT
Is a woman who made a conditional ihram intention and used deodorant, powder and lipstick out of ignorance of the ihram prohibitions required to pay a dam?
Short answer
A conditional intention does not remove the ihram prohibitions, and deodorant is forbidden because it counts as perfume.

Summary
A conditional intention does not remove the ihram prohibitions, and deodorant is forbidden because it counts as perfume. However, a person who used it out of forgetfulness or ignorance is excused and owes no dam, but must remove it as soon as they realise. Cosmetics meant for beautification or for scenting the clothes and body also fall under the prohibition. Someone who does so knowingly and deliberately must pay a dam, choosing between slaughtering a goat, feeding six poor people, or fasting three days.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, penggunakan deodoran semasa dalam ihram adalah dilarang kerana ia termasuk di dalam perkara berwangi-wangian dan bukannya seperti sabun yang bertujuan untuk menyucikan badan.
