Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a woman who comes to the Haram wearing perfume, and wearing a tight, attention-grabbing abaya?

Answer:
This is tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment). Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignoranceوَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ
[Al-Ahzab 33:33]
. Tabarruj in the Haram is more severe; because sin in the Haram is more severe than sin in the permitted areas. So the Muslim woman should fear Allah, watch over her relationship with Allah, and hold in high esteem the sanctities of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because she is a Muslim. She should not be deceived by the deluded or the lax, or Satan will encourage her to do this. She should seek refuge in Allah from Satan and from Satan's helpers. She should cover herself, avoid perfume, and be a Muslim woman who observes the Shari'ah etiquettes. Yes.
