The question

If a woman applies perfume to her child or husband and passes by men with them, does the ruling of performing ghusl apply to her as it would if she passed by while perfumed herself? And if the husband describes his wife's favorite perfume in front of a strange man, does she have to perform ghusl? And must a woman perform ablution before reciting adhkar if she is menstruating and in a state of janaba and did not purify herself before menstruation? And is one ablution sufficient for purification from janaba while menstruation continues until its end?

The answer

A woman is not required to perform ghusl (ritual bath) if she applies perfume and passes by men. Rather, she is obligated to repent and remove the perfume. The wife bears no sin for what she informed her husband. The one in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity) and the menstruating woman may recite adhkar (remembrances of Allah) without needing wudu' (ablution). However, the majority of scholars prohibit the one in a state of janabah and the menstruating woman from reciting the Qur'an.
