﷽
اَللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
وَعَلَى آلِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
ﷺThe Law of Wearing Perfume
For Men in IslamWearing perfume for men is a sunnah, especially when going to the mosque, on Fridays, and during Islamic holidays.
(Eid Al fitr & adha)Likewise, when attending knowledge gatherings and when wanting to have sex with his wife, it is recommended to use perfume.
As Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala says in the Qu’ran :
يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ
“O children of Adam, take your clothes and jewelry every time you enter the mosque.”
📚 (Surah Al-A’raaf, 7: 31)From Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu ‘anhu, that RasulAllah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam said :
مَنْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ طِيبٌ فَلَا يَرُدَّهُ، فَإِنَّهُ خَفِيفُ الْمَحْمَلِ، طَيِّبُ الرَّائِحَةِ
“Whoever is given a perfume, let him not refuse it, because it is light to carry, and smells good.”
📚 (Musnad Ahmad, no. 8264. Sunan Abi Dawud, no. 417)عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه طيب الرجال ما ظهر ريحه وخفي لونه, وطيب النساء ما خفي ريحه وظهر لونه رواه الترمذي والنسائي
From Abu Hurairah Radhiallahu Anha “Perfume for men is one that has a strong aroma but has a hidden color. Women’s perfume is a soft scent but the color is clear.
📚 (Sunan At-Tirmidhi, no. 2787. Sunan An-Nasaa’ i, no. 5117. Rated hasan by At-Tirmidhi and valid by Al-Albani)
When entering Friday, before going to the mosque, men are advised to clean themselves and wear perfume :
عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمُ عِيدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَمَنْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ وَإِنْ كَانَ طِيبٌ فَلْيَمَسَّ مِنْهُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ
Meaning: Today (Friday) is a holiday that Allah has made for Muslims. Whoever wants to perform the Friday prayers, he should take a bath, use perfume if there is one, and brush his teeth (siwak).
📚 (H.R Ibnu Majah).Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam always had his face and avoided bad smells when going to the place of prayer.
As a Muslim, you should always maintain cleanliness and pay attention to your appearance. For men, they should wear good perfume and have a clear (masculine) fragrance.
It was narrated from Aisyah RadhiAllahu Anhu, saying :
“I dressed Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam with the best perfume he could find, so I got traces of fragrance on his hair and beard,”
📚 (Narrated by Bukhari).Thus the discussion regarding the law of wearing perfume for men which is actually recommended but not excessively.
