Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on a woman going out of her home wearing perfume to the mosque or to other places?

Answer:
It is forbidden for her, it is forbidden for her to go out to the mosque wearing perfume or to the market wearing the clothing of adornment. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not prevent the women of Allah from the mosques of Allah, and let them go out as tafilat.لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله وليخرجن تفلات
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:498
meaning, wearing clothing that does not attract attention, that has no adornment, and that has no perfume. Yes.
