Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner will ask: What is the ruling if a woman wants to go out to visit some women, so she applies perfume in her house, then gets in the car until she reaches the house of the women she is visiting, meaning she will not pass by men? Does this fall under what is prohibited?
Answer:
She should not go out with it if she has a non-mahram driver with her. However, if she has her brother, her father, or her husband with her, and the perfume is not apparent to people, there is no harm.
