Hadith Takhrij«انظر ما قبلہ (حسن لغیرہ) (اس کے راوی ’’طفاوی‘‘ مبہم ہیں)»
´Narrated Abu Hurairah:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Fragrance for men is that which its scent is apparent and its color is hidden, and fragrance for women is that which its color is visible and its scent is hidden." (Meaning when leaving the home as indicated by the previous chapter. As far as in the presence of the husband, then the woman may wear fragrant perfume.)
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation: 1: The meaning is that men should use such fragrance in which there is scent but no color, such as perfume (itr) and oud, etc., and women should use such things in which there is color but no scent, for example saffron and henna, etc.
Note: (In the chain of narration, "rajul" is an ambiguous narrator, but due to corroborating evidence, this hadith is hasan li ghayrihi. See Sahih al-Targhib, no. 4024)
