Summary
Using medicated oil during ihram is permitted because it is not considered a perfume according to custom. Its smell comes from its ingredients, and it is used as a remedy rather than to give fragrance. This permission applies to medicated oil without a pleasant fragrance, so a pilgrim should make sure it does not contain floral essence or the like.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Penggunaan minyak angin ketika di dalam ihram adalah dibenarkan, kerana minyak angin bukanlah dikira sebagai wangi-wangian dari sudut adatnya.
