Hadith concerning a woman leaving home perfumed?
Question
Can you advise on the degree of authenticity of the following hadith:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When a woman goes out after having applied makeup and perfume with permission and consent of her husband, then Allah Most High prepares a house in Hell for her husband for every step she takes”
Answer
We have not come across any narration with these words in the books of Hadith. However, there are narrations in which Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has instructed women to remove perfume before leaving the home. (Sunan an-Nasai #: 5127)
And Allah Knows Best
