THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"
(Bukhari) 
It Is Forbidden For Women To Beautify Themselves For The Mosque PDF Print E-mail
Fiqh: Islamic Jurisprudence - Woman
Written by Muqbil bin Haadee Al-Wadi'ee   

Question:

What is the ruling on women beautifying and perfuming themselves for the taraweeh prayer believing that to be an implementation of the statement of Allaah: "And take your adornment (adorn yourselves) in every masjid.." (Al-A'raaf:31).

 

Answer:

The Prophet, salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam, allowed the women to go to the Mosques at 'Eeshaa time under the condition they go whilst adequately dressed - meaning, clothing that is not eye-catching or draws the attention [of people] and they are not perfumed.

Abu Hurayrah, radhi Allaahu 'anhu, said: Indeed the Prophet, salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam, said: "Any woman who leaves [her dwelling] perfumed, [seeking] that the men smell her, is a fornicator."
