Can Ihraam be washed with normal washing powder and fabric softner ?
Question
Will this not add fragrance to the Imraam which is prohibited. If it has already been washed, what can be done ? Jazakallah
Answer
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible to apply perfume, etc. before entering the state of Ihraam. Hence, to put on an Ihraam that is giving off a fragrance is permissible as a person is not in the state of Ihraam as yet.
Once a person is in the state of Ihraam, the use of scented items is prohibited.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
