English translation

5130. It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If a woman goes out to the Masjid, let her perform Ghusl to remove perfume as she would perform Ghusl to remove Janâbah (impurity following sexual activity).'" This is an abridged form of it. (Sahîh)

٥١٢٧ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ الْهَاشِمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌صَفْوَانَ بْنَ سُلَيْمٍ ، وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِنْ صَفْوَانَ غَيْرَهُ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ‌رَجُلٍ ثِقَةٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا خَرَجَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ مِنَ الطِّيبِ كَمَا تَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ». مُخْتَصَرٌ.

Commentary

1. 'To the Masjid' means going out of home, whether she goes to the mosque, or to someone's house, or to the farm. The mosque is specifically mentioned, because it is the place of purity. Fragrance is extremely superior therein, but a woman may not perfume herself even while going to the mosque. Hence, other places are out of the question. 2. 'Perform Ghusl', because the perfume touches from one part of the body to another. The effect of perfume, therefore, would not be obliterated unless one takes full bath.
