He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not use sweet smelling oil with musk or ‘amber and its smell may remain on your head after you assume the state of Ihram. You can use oil of whatever kind you like before Ghusl (bath) or thereafter, but when you assume the state of Ihram, it then becomes unlawful for you to use oil until you come out of the state of Ihram.”’
