Musk in Islam

Musk, or 'misk' in Arabic, holds a special place in Islamic tradition. In a well-known hadith, the Prophet Muhammad refers to musk as the best perfume. Many Muslims enjoy wearing musk, for example on Fridays, before prayer, or on Eid. Those who prefer not to wear alcohol on their skin choose musk or an alcohol-free perfume oil.

You can find more scents at perfume and perfume oils. For an oriental scent in your home, take a look at incense and bakhoor.
