What is the ruling on the scent of perfume remaining on the hands or bag, or on dealing and consulting with men regarding the sale of perfumes, knowing that we do not deal with them extensively?
If a woman leaves her home and passes by non-mahram men, the perfume in her bag or on her hands must not be overpowering and smelled by these non-mahram men, because that could arouse their desires and make them look at her. Therefore, the perfume container in the bag must be tightly closed, and its trace removed from the hand when going out to avoid any scent.
