 rejecting itr
As-salaamu 'alaikum..
Do you find it disrespectful to reject someone offer you some of there itr? Some of the scents give me a headache. Also often i have my own itr on already. Is there any hadiths on offering/accepting itr to/from anothet brother? Jazakallahu khair |

 Its mentioned in Shamail Tirmidhi: Ibn Umar radiyallahu anhu says, “Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam said, ‘Three things should not be refused: pillow; fragrance (itr-oil); and milk.” Abu Uthman An-Nahdi (At-Taabi’ee) radiyallahu anhu relates that Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam said: “If one is given rayhaan, he should not refuse it, because it originates from Jannah.” |

lol I know what you mean, bro. I know we're not supposed to refuse perfume, but sometimes people offer some rancid smelling cheap one that is nearly impossible to wash off!

I have heard, even some costly ones are very strong smelling. Perhaps we should accept and just not use it. |

I believe that he is talking about when people want to apply it to your hand etc. Once my cousin rubbed an itr on my hand and it was super good smelling fortunately. |

Some itr is tooo strong - I can relate a handful of incidents where my bro's applied itr in the car, whilst on long journeys, and I've ended up with a banging headache and even feeling sick... Good quality Majmua haunts me... |

Once I offered some ittar to my shaikh. I had it wrapped up in a nice carrying case and everything. I took it out thinking he will love it and offered it to him. He took it and smelled it for a while, then refused. I never questioned this action he knows better than me what is permissible and what isnt. From an islahi point of view he did an excellent job by refusing, that truly was a master at work.

Lately I have been wearing hard-core ittars to work, like pure shamamatul amber hard-core odor nearly like Tiger Balm. Some coworkers keep faning themselves from the fragrance. I wore Mukhallat Malaki last time and loved it, coworkers hated it
 I smelled like a spice rag and, yes, it was liberating. But no one can complain, they have to put up with it and respect my cultural practices. Finally, I get back at the man!
