The Ruling on a Woman Applying Perfume After Her Death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am confused about the fact that a woman is prohibited from going out while perfumed during her lifetime. So, is she to be perfumed after her death? We ask for your guidance.
Answer:
The fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) is what she was prohibited from perfuming for when going out during her life, out of fear of fitnah. Once she dies, the time for fitnah has ended; who would want it? She is dead.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
