Q 2: Musk, aloes and rose are strong perfumes used by women. What is the ruling on using them particularly by women who go outdoors wearing them? Does honoring the female visitors by incensing them have the same ruling?

A: It is forbidden for women to go outside their homes while wearing perfume. She should neither wear perfume when going out nor offer perfume to her female guests. Rather, she should gently tell them she wishes she could offer them perfume, but for the fact that women are not allowed to go out while wearing it. In this way, she could combine giving advice and avoiding what Allah forbids.
