He says the report is transmitted by one companion, Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, and that two other narrations, one from Zaynab al-Thaqafiyya, the wife of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, and one from Abu Hurayra, may lend some support to the notion but are not this report, and that he will discuss them later. He gives the wording: any woman who puts on perfume and passes by people so that they smell it is a fornicator. He says it is found in the Sunan of al-Nasa'i, Abu Dawud, Musnad Ahmad in three readings, and al-Tirmidhi, and that some versions add that every eye that looks at her is a fornicating eye. ## Sources and names cited - report: ayyuma imraatin istatarat fa marrat ala qawmin li yajidu rihaha fa hiya zaniya (with the variant every eye is a fornicator) - Abu Musa al-Ash'ari - Zaynab al-Thaqafiyya - Ibn Mas'ud - Abu Hurayra - Sunan al-Nasa'i - Sunan Abi Dawud - Musnad Ahmad - Sunan al-Tirmidhi - zina ## Transcript (machine tier, 0:00–2:39) [0:00] now there is a hadith right the hadith is that any excuse me a human rotten star towards any woman so guys if you've just tuned in if you can click like and share get this out they have like people to to be aware of these rulings so we're discussing now women leaving home with perfume and the hadith that this comes in now this hadith is [0:35] transmitted by one companion okay abu musa al-ashari Rohde allah on now there are two other varying narrations that may lend some support to this and i'll discuss them one comes from is a transmission from a woman the wife of abdullah minimus road called zeyneb Asaka thea and the other transmission is from abu huraira or the Lewan right so but this narration that comes with this wording the others are they may lend some support to this notion and I'll get [1:15] to that but they're not this actual honey there is a very popular hadith at a umhum raatein is started any woman who wears perfume adorns herself with perfume for moderate Allah omen then she passes by people Leo G domine rehear so they may so and in a way that they can smell her perfume so they like her in any way that they can for here's Anya [1:51] then she is a fornicator woman okay an adult for us right so now this hadith has very that narration I just read to you is in the soon enough necessary it does come in Abu Dawood it comes in the most Ahmed I believe three different narration I mean three readings of the same hadith and it comes in Tirmidhi as well in some of them it mentions the wording that Kulu I mean that every eye [2:26] that looks at it every eye that looks at her sari is zania is is is also an fornicating eye and she is a fornicating woman so this is the hadith and this is quite commonly preached okay so a lot of people will sometimes under a lot of Imams and movies on their member will often teach this saying any woman that goes out wearing perfume she's an adulteress she's a fornicating woman I would like to tell you that people write this hadith that we've just ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment bO72u9ThuK8/s/1. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/bo72u9thuk8/s/1/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
