1879 - وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنِ اَلْمُحْرِمِ يَشَمُّ اَلرَّيْحَانَ قَالَ «لاَ» قِيلَ فَالصَّائِمُ قَالَ «لاَ» قِيلَ يَشَمُّ اَلصَّائِمُ اَلْغَالِيَةَ وَ اَلدُّخْنَةَ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قِيلَ كَيْفَ حَلَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَشَمَّ اَلطِّيبَ وَ لاَ يَشَمَّ اَلرَّيْحَانَ قَالَ «لِأَنَّ اَلطِّيبَ سُنَّةٌ وَ اَلرَّيْحَانَ بِدْعَةٌ لِلصَّائِمِ ».

Imam was asked if a fasting person may smell perfume or incense. Imam said: "Yes."
