Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Incense was known among Arabs before and after Islam, and it has been mentioned in the Prophetic in several places. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade a woman perfumed with incense from leaving her house for gatherings of men, even if it were to the mosque. It is also confirmed that he, peace and blessings be upon him, used incense and fumigated with pure aloeswood. It is mentioned that the first group of believers to enter Paradise will fumigate themselves with aloeswood.
