In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear questioner, thanks for your interesting question, and we implore Allah to help us serve His cause and render our work for His sake.
Every committed Muslim woman should avoid anything that might trigger temptation. In public, there is no need for the Muslim woman to wear perfumes whether light or strong ones in order to remove the smell of sweat as such smell can be removed by bathing or washing the places in which sweat is usually found.
Responding to the question, Sheikh `Atiyyah Saqr, former head of Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee, states the following:
It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,
?If a woman wears a perfume and then passes by people who smelled her perfume, she is then considered an adulteress. And every eye is liable to commit adultery.? This hadith was reported by An-Nasa?i, Ibn Khuzaymah, and Ibn Hibban in their compilations of authentic hadiths. It was also reported by Al-Hakim who regarded it as authentic.
The same hadith was reported by Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi with the following wording:
?Every eye is liable to commit adultery; and the woman who wears perfume and then passes by a gathering is such and such.? (i.e., she is an adulteress). At-Tirmidhi regarded the same hadith as an authentic hadith. We learn from reported traditions that the best perfume for women is that whose color is apparent and scent is hidden.
From the above hadiths, describing such a woman as an adulteress means that she is like an adulteress because she wears perfume with the intention of tempting men, which is undoubtedly an abominable behavior. Temptation and seduction are not accomplished unless the used perfume is strong. However, if the perfume is light, so its smell does not spread beyond its place except for a limited range, and if it is not used with the intention of seduction but rather for removing the smell of sweat, for example, the woman in such case is not like an adulteress because she is not intending seduction.
Nevertheless, I believe that it is disliked at least, for even if the smell of the perfume is light, there is still a risk that men will smell it due to the congestion in streets, markets, and means of transport. Thus, it is more appropriate for the righteous woman to avoid anything that might trigger temptation.
Furthermore, the smell of sweat can be removed by bathing or washing the places in which sweat is usually found [and by wearing deodorant]. It does not need wearing any perfume, because wearing light perfumes might lead to wearing strong ones.
Such prohibition is applicable only in the presence of non-mahrammen, whether inside or outside a woman?s house. However, in the presence of mahram men, her husband, or other women, there is no restriction on wearing perfume, due to the absence of temptation in the presence of mahram men, or to please the husband or to avoid being criticized by other women.
How inhuman is this to women?
Are Muslim men so super sexualized that a strand of women's hair or a light perfume will make them unable to control the fire burning in their balls?
To top that, this questioner is an Afghan woman, where till the Taliban fell women were obliged to wear a full burka with a sheath over the eyes & even now culture & tradition dictate in many parts of Afghanistan that women fully cover up in that country where summers' have sweltering heat. How easy is it to wash frequently in such a land? Do most Afghans even have access to clean water to drink?
So if Shariah comes to the West, along with bikinis, Europe's flourishing perfume industries will also be forced to shut shop. Beware!!!
