What is the ruling on a woman going out with a driver, wearing perfume, to pray the tarawih prayer?

Question : Honorable Shaykh, in this blessed month, some women go to pray the tarawih prayer with a driver, and they may be wearing perfume while going to pray tarawih with the driver. Also, some women bring an incense burner to the mosque to perfume the women. Perhaps you have some guidance on this?

Answer : As for the first issue, which is a woman riding alone with a driver, it is forbidden (haram), whether she goes to the mosque, to school, to her female colleagues, or to her relatives. This is because her riding alone with the driver is seclusion (khalwah). It is established from the Prophet ﷺ that . Based on this, we say to this woman who has no one to drive her to the mosque by car except a driver who is not one of her mahrams (close relatives): by going in this manner, she is sinful and committing a transgression. If the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is , then what can be said about this situation? That is, if the woman were to go alone, with safety and security, to the mosque, we would tell her that her prayer in her home is better for her. So how about the one who goes with the driver? And how about the one who rides with the driver while wearing perfume, may Allah protect us, and attends the mosque perfumed, so that the men smell her and are tempted by her? There is no doubt that this is contrary to the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and goes against what he advised. The Prophet said:
This is incense, which is among the mildest of perfumes in scent. So what about one who perfumes herself with the most fragrant of perfumes and then goes out to the market or to the mosque? As for the second issue, which is that some women bring an incense burner to perfume the women, it is not permissible for her to do this, because if she perfumes the women, they will have the scent of incense on them. Yes, if she brings the incense burner and puts the perfume in it after arriving at the mosque, to perfume the mosque only, and not to give it to the women, then that is good and there is no harm in it. Yes.
