Is it permissible to bathe with Lote (Sidr) while performing the Hajj pilgrimage?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible for a pilgrim in the state of ihram to wash with sidr (lote tree leaves), as it is not considered a perfume. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded that a person who died in the state of ihram be washed with water and sidr, while prohibiting the use of perfumes, which indicates the permissibility of using sidr.
