Loban is being used since ages in Islam for fumigating House, Masjid and surroundings. Infact, as mentioned in Quran, Hadeeths and as from the writings of contemporary writers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it is quite evident that Prophet Muhammad and his companions used to burn Loban daily to fumigate the house. Some of the hadeeths where the mention of Loban appears is given below:
  1. In one of the narrations, Abdulla Bin Zafar mentions, Nabi said – ” Fumigate your houses with Loban and Al-sheesh (cress)” ——— Shoaid-ul-Imaan.
  2. Holy Prophet Muhamad (PBUH) said -” The best medicine you can treat yourself is with are incense and cupping.”. He added – ”  One should never torture children by treating tonsillitis by pressing the tonsils or the palate with the finger, but use incense instead.” —-Hadith Sahih Bukhari 7.599, Narrated by Anas.
  3. Holy Prophet Said- “Treat with the Indian incense, for it has healing for seven diseases; it is to be sniffed by one having throat trouble, and to be put into one side of the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy.”——-Hadith Sahih Bukhari 7.596, Narrated by Um Qais Bint Mihsan.
  4. Aishah said, “Perfume the Ka’bah, because this is a part of purifying it.” Ibn Az-Zubair used to burn one pound of incense in the Ka’bah daily. On Fridays, he used to burnt two pounds of incense. ——-Fiqh-us-Sunnah 5.132
