The answer

Deodorant for women can be divided into two types: First, scented deodorant with a noticeable fragrance. This type is not permissible for use outside the home if it is highly probable that men will smell its scent. This is supported by the hadith: "If one of you attends the mosque, she should not touch perfume." Second, unscented deodorant, or one with a slight, unnoticeable scent. There is no harm in using this type. It is commendable for a woman to eliminate unpleasant odors, even if what she uses to remove the odor has a scent, provided that men do not smell its fragrance. If it is highly probable that a woman will not pass by men, then there is no harm in her using perfume and deodorant.
