Hadith 15364

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said and 'Abdullahibn Abi Bakr and Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman that al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik asked Salim ibn Abdullah and Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit if hecould use perfume after he had stoned the jamra and shaved his head,but before he had left for the tawafal-ifada. Salim forbade him to doso, but Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit said that he could.Maliksaid, "There is no harm in a man oiling himself with an oil which doesnot have any perfume in it, either before he enters ihram, or beforehe leaves Mina for the tawaf al-ifada, if he has stoned the jamra."Yahya said that Malik was asked whether someone in ihramcould eat food with saffron in it, and he said, "There is no harm insome one in ihram eating it if it has been cooked. If, however, it hasnot been cooked he should not eat it."
