Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani was asked:

Questioner:

Is it allowed for a woman to wash her clothes or hands with scented soap and then go out from her house with this scent in front of strangers?

Shaikh:

“If the scent is one that spreads, then it is not allowed of course.

Questioner:

In terms of the ruling of the scent?

Shaikh:

Yes”.
