Is Applying Perfume to Sacred Islamic Sites Considered a Sunnah?

The Misconception of Applying Perfume to Sacred Sites as Sunnah

Question: “Applying perfume to certain places like the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad), the Kaaba, the Prophet’s tomb, and other locations is a Sunnah. I do this as a vow and consider it a blessing.” Are these statements correct?

Answer: This is the writing of an innovator (bid’ati), likely an extreme one. An innovator is someone who fabricates and teaches religion based on their own ideas. 
There is no basis for these statements in Islam. They are entirely false and baseless. Calling these acts Sunnah is completely wrong, and you can label such claims as falsehoods.
