A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who in the state of Ihram dies.

He (the Imam) said, ‘He is given Ghusl (bath), shroud and his face is covered, but Hunut (rubbing camphor over the seven parts of the body which one places on the ground for Sajdah (prostration)) is not used for him, nor any other kinds of perfumes.”’ ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (7/333))
