What is the ruling on a woman going out to prayer when she has applied perfume?

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 to prayer when she has applied perfume?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do so; it is not permissible for her to go out while wearing perfume, because this causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) through her and draws attention to her. The Prophet (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
"Tafilat," meaning without perfume and without adornment. Yes.
