Summary
Musk (al-misk), formed from blood that collects in the navel area of a deer, gazelle or antelope, is considered pure and lawful. Scholars hold that the blood has undergone transformation (istihalah) into something good and clean. Using it as perfume is permitted, and it may also be used as food or medicine, whether in necessity or not. The ruling rests on authentic hadith describing musk as the most fragrant of perfumes.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan hadith serta kenyataan para ulama', kami nyatakan di sini bahawa penggunaan minyak kasturi sebagai wangian adalah dibenarkan dan dihukum sebagai suci kasturi tersebut.
