❀ Ḥadīth on Women Wearing Fragrance in Public
Narrated by Abū Mūsā رضي الله عنه:
◈ Arabic Text:
المرأة إذا استعطرت فمرت بالمجلس فهي كذا كذا يعني زانية
◈ Translation:
“When a woman applies perfume and passes by a gathering, she is such and such…” meaning: she is like a fornicator (zāniyah).

✅ Key Instruction:
❖ Parents should ensure that their daughters do not use perfume when leaving the house, as it is explicitly condemned in the sayings of the Prophet ﷺ.
