Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a woman applies perfume to her body, Honorable Shaykh, and there are foreign people present, is that permissible for her?

The Shaykh : What kind of foreign people? Women or men?

The questioner : Non-mahram. The mahram are men, men, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : It is permissible for her to do so, unless the perfume has a light scent that does not reach these men, in which case there is no harm. However, if it has a scent, it is not permissible for a woman to use a perfume that foreign men can smell.

The presenter : Okay, and you as well, let us take a call. Please go ahead.
