What is the ruling on a woman visiting the Sacred Mosque and others while she is displaying her adornment?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is there any advice for the woman who comes to the Haram in full adornment, and some of them wear the enticing niqab?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not prevent the female servant your women from visiting the mosques of Allah.لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله
Sunan Abi Dawud 566
and their homes are better for them, and let them go out in a state of undress. What does "in a state of undress" mean? It means not adorned and not perfumed. They go out in covering clothes that have no adornment and no perfume with them. If she goes out for worship, not for showing off and causing fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), then if she goes out perfumed or adorned or not covered, she has gone out for fitnah, and Satan will dominate her and incite her. So the Muslim woman should fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and conduct herself with the Shari'ah etiquettes when she goes out. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says to the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they are the purest of the women of the worlds:
And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance. And establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messengerوَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
[Al-Ahzab 33:33]
. These are commands to the wives of the Prophet, and they are the role model for the women of the believers. Yes.
