Why Perfume Is Prohibited For Women? Isn'T This A Gender Discrimination ?
A halal thing becomes haram only when there is something objectionable in it. it is about the strong perfume to allure men’s attention, and not about some ordinary perfume for good smell.
Women can apply perfume to overcome body odour but it should not be a strong perfume which Prophet (sws) forbade to be worn outside and this is in accordance with the directive of the Quran 24:31 where women are asked to not adopt gestures which expose their hidden embellishments/adornments.
