Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question about whether it is permissible for a woman to use perfume? Is it permissible for her to use perfume even in the presence of her father or her brother?
Answer:
It is permissible for a woman to use perfume in her house if she does not go out with it. As long as she is in her house, she may use perfume, even in the presence of her mahrams. However, when going out, it is not permissible for her to use perfume, because this is a cause of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and a cause of people being attracted to her. But the woman should use perfume that does not have a strong, penetrating scent; rather, she should use perfume whose scent is not strong. She should use perfume whose scent is not strong.
