Chapter on Preparing for Ihram
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 46
وَ سَأَلَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ اَلْحَلَبِيُّ: عَنْ دُهْنِ اَلْخِيرِيِّ وَ اَلْبَنَفْسَجِ أَنَدَّهِنُ بِهِ إِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نُحْرِمَ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» وَ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَغْتَسِلُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لِإِحْرَامِهِ فَقَالَ «يُجْزِيهِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ اَلْغُسْلِ بِذِي اَلْحُلَيْفَةِ ».
Muhammad al-Halabi asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the use of khayri (a type of oil derived from flowers) and banafsaj (violet oil) for anointing oneself when intending to enter Ihram. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, it is permissible." Muhammad then asked him about a person who performs ghusl (ritual bath) in Medina for their Ihram. Imam عليه السلام said: "It suffices them, and they do not need to perform another ghusl at Dhul-Hulayfah."
