Mint is not a kind of perfume
Question: 21180
Is mint considered to be one of the kinds of perfume which is not allowed in ihraam?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Mint is not a kind of perfume, rather it is more like Persian basil, and Persian basil resembles yashmoom. Even though it has a pleasant fragrance it is not a kind of perfume, unlike the well known kind of basil which is a perfume whether it is fresh or dry.
