Question:
The questioner asks: Is there any advice for the women who come to the Haram wearing perfume, with their faces uncovered, and in a state of tabarruj?
Answer:
Yes, this is haram (forbidden) and not permissible. These are munkar (what is wrong): uncovering the face, wearing perfume, and free mixing with men without necessity, and not being careful. All of these are munkar. It is obligatory for the woman to avoid them; she should be covered, she should avoid perfume, and she should be cautious about free mixing as much as possible, as much as possible. However, if the tawaf (circumambulation) becomes crowded and the place is packed, and necessity compels her, then it has its ruling. But if she has an alternative to the crowding and free mixing, she should avoid it. Therefore, the woman’s home is better for her than the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 566

لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله وبيوتهنare better for them.
خير لهن.
