Is it permissible to perfume oneself with fragrance and incense when going to work at a women's school?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden for a woman to use perfume when she leaves her home due to the arousal of desire that results from it, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from Allah's mosques, and let them go out without perfume." Everything that arouses desire is included with perfume. The absence of men from the study place is not a justification for using perfume because its scent spreads on the way.
