35. Combing the Hair
٣٥۔ كتاب الترجل
The Prophet ﷺ said: If a woman uses perfume and passes the people so that they may get its odour, she is so-and-so, meaning severe remarks.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا اسْتَعْطَرَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَمَرَّتْ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ لِيَجِدُوا رِيحَهَا فَهِيَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ قَوْلاً شَدِيدًا
A woman met him and he found the odour of perfume in her. Her clothes were fluttering in the air. He said: O maid-servant of the Almighty, are you coming from the mosque? She replied: Yes. He said: For it did you use perfume? She replied: Yes. He said: I heard my beloved AbulQasim ﷺ say: The prayer of a woman who uses perfume for this mosque is not accepted until she returns and takes a bath like that of sexual defilement (perfectly). Abu Dawud said: Al-i'sar means dust.
لَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ وَجَدَ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الطِّيبِ يُنْفَحُ وَلِذَيْلِهَا إِعْصَارٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَمَةَ الْجَبَّارِ جِئْتِ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَلَهُ تَطَيَّبْتِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ حِبِّي أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تُقْبَلُ صَلاَةٌ لاِمْرَأَةٍ تَطَيَّبَتْ لِهَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى تَرْجِعَ فَتَغْتَسِلَ غُسْلَهَا مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: If a woman fumigates herself with perfume, she must not attend the night prayer with us. Ibn Nufayl said: Isha' means night prayer.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ أَصَابَتْ بَخُورًا فَلاَ تَشْهَدَنَّ مَعَنَا الْعِشَاءَ قَالَ ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ عِشَاءَ الآخِرَةِ
