I tried to look this up on the net..and I found some things regarding it..but I want to know *the sure thing*...

I was wondering if it's okay to perfume the masjid with something other than bukhoor (incense)?...Can air-fresheners (the spray type) be used?..Mind you the smell won't be something like *melon* or *strawberry*..it will be *musk*..*sandalwood & vanilla*..or *orchid*..pretty much smells that are woodsy or floral..

So does anyone know a fatwa or an opinion on this?..I ask because bukhoor are a natural thing and I have seen mabkharas (the container that is used for burning incense) in our masjid for example..but I don't know about the use of spray air-fresheners..

I know this might sound very *trivial* (even maybe *random*)..but I am concerned about it for a lot of reasons :)

Jazakom Allah Khair for any help in advance!

Baraka Allaho Feeki for taking the time to reply :)..that's what I'm wondering about..a fatwa or official source of sorts...but at least now I am a bit more sure that nobody objects to it since you do it at your masjid

Thanks again & Jazaki Allah every khair :)

i wish i could help and i tried looking for fatwas but it seems there's none. however i personally think that you should not spray it in the mosque specially if there are men because the smell will spread and when you go outside of the masjid it will be smelled from your clothes. just a thought. asalamu alaykum wrwb, but then again in our masjid we spray with air freshners, bakhoors and even those incense stuff.
