RIYADH: The Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah is perfumed more than 20 times daily with the best fragrance and incense during Ramadan to ensure a spiritual atmosphere for worshippers.
Islam places a huge importance on cleanliness and perfume, and mosques and houses are fragranced lavishly where possible, especially on special occasions like Ramadan and Eid.
700 grams of the best oud was used to fragrance the mosque during the day and worshippers were also offered oud and musk oil and other fragrances between Maghrib and Isha prayers with which they could perfume themselves, the head of fragrance department at the Prophet’s Mosque Omar bin Abdulaziz Al-Hindi said.
