Is it permissible for a woman to adorn herself when she goes out?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to adorn herself when she goes out to weddings, parties, and women’s gatherings?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to adorn herself when she leaves her house. Rather, she should go out covered and veiled, leaving off perfume, if she is going to pass by men. But if she does not pass by men, and is only in a gathering of women where she does not pass by men, then there is no harm in her beautifying herself and adorning herself in the manner of custom, without extravagance and without laxity in covering and hijab. Yes.
