Using Unscented Petroleum Jelly in Ihraam
Question
People recommended using petroleum jelly around the inner thighs to avoid chafing when walking during Hajj. When I bring my nose very close to the product, I can smell a subtle chemical-type of scent. Will it be permissible to apply petroleum jelly to the body in Ihraam if it has this smell.
Answer
There is no harm using unscented petroleum jelly during Ihraam.
