Is it permissible for women to wear perfume? The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Tasattur means to cover the parts of the body that are religiously necessary to be covered. Accordingly, it is fard to cover those parts.
In addition, a woman's walking style, speaking style and attitudes, which can be called spiritual tasattur, are also important. One of them is a woman going out by wearing perfume. Women are prohibited by a hadith from wearing perfume when they go out:
"If a woman goes out by wearing perfume and goes near a group of people so that the scent of her perfume will reach them, she will be regarded to have taken a step toward fornication." (Tirmidhi, Adab, 35)
