4002. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah met a woman who was wearing perfume and heading for the mosque. He said: "O slavewoman of the Compeller, where are you headed?" She said: "To the mosque." He said: "And have you put on perfume for that?" She said: "Yes." He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Any woman who puts on perfume then goes out to the mosque, no prayer will be accepted from her until she takes a bath.'" (Hasan)
4002 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ مَوْلَى أَبِي رُهْمٍ، وَاسْمُهُ عُبَيْدٌ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، لَقِيَ امْرَأَةً مُتَطَيِّبَةً تُرِيدُ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَقَالَ: " يَا أَمَةَ الْجَبَّارِ أَيْنَ تُرِيدِينَ؟ قَالَتْ: الْمَسْجِدَ، قَالَ: وَلَهُ تَطَيَّبْتِ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ تَطَيَّبَتْ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهَا صَلَاةٌ حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلَ»

It is not allowed for a woman to apply perfumes when she goes outside of her house. A woman may go to a mosque to attend the congregational prayer provided she avoids adornment and beautifications. However, she may go in simple dress fulfilling all the condition of an Islamic code of dress. Abu Hurairah ﷺ, in order to make her fear Allāh, addressed her by Amatul- Jabbâr (O slave of the Compeller) instead of Amatullâh (O slave of Allâh) which implies a kind of scolding.
