The ruling on a woman going out wearing perfume and incense

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on a woman going out of her house wearing perfume and incense? If one of her relatives smells her, is she considered a fornicator?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman, when going out, to wear perfume, nor to adorn herself, nor to remove the hijab. Rather, she should cover herself, avoid adornment, and refrain from using perfume, because this causes people to be attracted to her and for people of evil to follow her. And zina does not mean only zina of the private parts; zina occurs through the private parts, and it also occurs through the means that lead to zina. Yes.
