Follow in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , Be mindful about your appearance while performing religious duties .

Before embarking on their journey for Hajj, Muslims are required to enter into a state of consecration known as Ihram. This hadith narrates that Ibn Umar used to perform certain rituals before entering into this state of consecration. He would oil himself with an odorless oil and then proceed towards the Mosque of Al Hulaita where he would offer his prayer. After mounting his ride he would proclaim his intention of assuming Ihram and mention that he had seen Prophet Muhammad ﷺ doing the same thing. This shows us how important it is for Muslims to follow in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when performing religious duties such as Hajj or Umrah. It also teaches us that we should be mindful about our appearance when performing religious duties and not use any fragrant oils or perfumes which may distract others from their prayers or other acts of worship during these sacred times.
