Question

Is it permissible for a person in ihraam to apply sunblock?

Answer

If the sunblock does not have a fragrance, it will be permissible. If it has a fragrance, then one should avoid using it in the state of ihraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
