Perfume

Of the three favorite things of the Holy Prophet, perfume is one. It has been specially liked by him owing to several reasons. It gives a sense of joy and offers a contenance of cheerfulness. It gives joy to others who comes in contact with the man who uses perfume. It supplies wisdom to the brain if it is constantly used. It is especially useful for a man who mixes in society, because bad odour is always adominable. The Holy prophet prohibited a man to enter a mosque or join congregational prayer when he comes there after eating uncooked garlic and onions. Perfumed oil or extract of juice or otto may be quite lawfully used, but perfume mixed with spirit is abominable. A beg of perfume should be always at hand as the Holy Prophet did. He prohibited using of Khulug odour saying that the prayer of one who uses Khulug is not accepted. The perfume of woman should be odourless but with colour, and the perfume of man should be without colour but with odour. Females should not use perfumes when they come out to join congregational prayer. There are four things of the practices of the Prophet; use of perfumes is one of them.
