Can a woman apply sweet fragrances in private to please her husband?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Assalamoalaikum dear brothers in Islam

As far as i know a woman is not allowed to apply sweet smelling fragrances on her.
1) What i wish to know is in private is she allowed to do so to please her husband?
2) And secondly does the scent of regular shampoos a/comditioners/shower gels also come under this prohibitation when a lady must step out of the house?

May Allah reward you with the sweetness of the hereafter aameen, jazakallah khair

Answer
Bismillah

Al-Jawab Billahi At-Taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

Yes, it will be permissible for women to apply fragrances etc, in the presence of thier husband.

However, it is not permitted for women to go out wearing perfume, because the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) firmly forbade it in rigorously authenticated Hadiths. Deodorant, shampoos, creams etc, that have a light scent – such that it isn’t obviously knowing to others unless they get really close, are permitted; however, women should avoid heavily scented personal care products.

And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
