Dear questioner, Master Ali Saei

Tracking code: #Q-3177

Please explain the use of perfume on children and the prohibition on using rosewater perfume on them. Why should it not be used?

Subject category: Religious Upbringing and Family Islamic medicine

The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

Using perfume on children and adolescents calls for care, both because they are vulnerable to people with bad intentions and because stimulating fragrances may pose specific risks, such as premature puberty. Further research and a more detailed discussion of the subject will have to wait until a later date.

Children and adolescents, like women, may be vulnerable to people with unhealthy intentions. Their moral safety must therefore be carefully safeguarded. In addition, certain perfumes, because of their particular properties, may pose a more serious risk of specific problems for younger age groups. Stimulant perfumes, for example, may contribute to premature puberty in children and adolescents.

A more detailed investigation and discussion will be left for the future, God willing.
