The Ruling on the Myrrh Which is Found in Perfume Shops


Question :

Is the myrrh which is found in the shops of some perfume sellers as used for the treatment of some diseases permissible or forbidden, bearing in mind that some people say: ""The angels do not enter a house in which there is myrrh'


Answer:

The myrrh which is in the shops of some perfume sellers is permissible, because the basic principle is permissibility and we know of no evidence for its prohibition. And we know of no basis for this saying which you have related from some of the people, that the angels do not enter a house in which there is myrrh; in fact, it is false.
