The ruling on a woman riding with a driver and wearing perfume

Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, a woman goes with a driver to parties and gatherings, and she is wearing perfume. She claims that she perfumes her children with the same perfume she uses, and she rides with them in the car, then she rides after them. What is the ruling on this behavior?

Answer:
This behavior is not permissible, and this is seclusion (khalwah). Children do not remove the state of seclusion, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Therefore, there must be the presence of an adult, male or female, who removes the state of seclusion. As for children, they do not remove the state of seclusion. It is not permissible for a woman to ride with a driver who is not one of her mahram (relatives one may not marry), and there is no adult male or female present with them who would remove the state of seclusion. Likewise, and even more so, is for her to perfume herself when going out and say, "This perfume is for the children." Where did the children get it from but from her? So it is not permissible for her to perfume herself and go out while wearing perfume. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered women, when going out to the mosques, to go out in groups, meaning without perfume and without adornment. So it is not permissible for her to adorn herself or perfume herself when leaving the house, because this is an invitation to evil and an invitation to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). So the Muslim woman should fear Allah, be modest, cover herself, and leave the perfume when going out. Yes.
