Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on the prayer of a woman who goes out to the mosque wearing perfume?
Answer:
Her prayer is disliked, but it is valid; however, it is disliked. It is not permissible for her to wear perfume when leaving her house, whether for prayer or otherwise, but prayer is the most emphatic occasion for wearing perfume. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:498 meaning, not adorned. Yes.

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
