Is a perfumed woman, whose scent men have smelled, prohibited from touching the Mushaf and performing Salat, and from what follows thereof regarding the rulings of Janabah, as if she were in a state of Janabah?

If a woman perfumes herself and passes by men so that they may smell her fragrance, she is an adulteress. And whoever of them goes out from her house perfumed, desiring to go to the mosque, her prayer will not be accepted until she returns and performs ghusl. What is meant by ghusl here is removing the traces of the perfume from the body, not ghusl for ritual impurity (janabah). And what is meant by the negation of acceptance is the negation of reward, not the invalidation of the prayer.
