The Ruling on a Woman Going Out Wearing Perfume
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Sister Sarah from Riyadh asks about the ruling on a woman going out wearing perfume in places where there are men. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to go out displaying her adornment, uncovered, or wearing perfume, because these are causes that lead to consequences that are not praiseworthy. If a woman needs to go out, she should go out covered, wearing clothes that contain no adornment, and she should not wear perfume when going out, nor draw attention to herself. Otherwise, she will sin by violating these prescribed Islamic etiquettes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when they went out to the mosques, said: “Let them go out without adornment,” meaning in garments that have no adornment and no scent of perfume. The Muslim woman should fear Allah when going out for any purpose, whether to visit a relative, to study, or to work. She should fear Allah the Exalted. She is a Muslim, so she must observe the prescribed Islamic etiquettes, covering, modesty, bashfulness, chastity, and avoiding free mixing with men. She should avoid free mixing with men, because all of these are among the causes of falling into immorality. Yes.
