The questioner : What is the ruling on applying perfume for Friday? Is it obligatory like the ghusl?
The Shaykh : Regarding the issue of perfume, we mentioned that perfume and the siwak are not obligatory, and we said that the indication of association does not imply that the associated items are equal in ruling.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : This is generally the case, whether he is at his home or if he perfumes his entire body with one type of perfume.
The questioner : Perhaps the brother Fuad is now indicating that women's perfumes today are different. If there is no perfume suitable for a man, should he use women's perfume?
The Shaykh : The meaning is if he does not have any perfume, even from his wife's perfume.
The questioner : Even from women's perfume?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is not always different. There are some perfumes that are common to both women and men. It may be said that for a woman's perfume, it is required that it not be strong-smelling. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, meaning: the least amount of perfume is sufficient; the least amount of perfume is enough.
