Commentary
Bakhûr means incense; when lighted with fire, its fragrance is sensed, as are incense sticks, etc. in modern days. It is not permissible for a woman to go out of home, applying any kind of fragrance, whether she goes to the mosque or anywhere else. The Isha prayer is specifically mentioned, because incense would be burned more at that time for various reasons.
