Women may only wear perfume if they will be in the company of other women or with their own mahrams. Wearing it in the presence of non-mahrams constitutes a great sin.

Aboo Moosaa al-Ash’aree (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallaam) said:

“Any woman who wears perfume and passes by men who would smell her
perfume is an adulteress.”


Recorded by Aboo Daawood, at-Tirmidhee, and others. Verified to be hasan by al-Albaanee (Saheeh ul-Jaami’ no. 2701 and al-Mishkaat no. 1023).
