After The Death of Her Husband -
Sheikh Saleh al Fawzan ( حفظه الله)
1. All types
of perfume: She should NOT apply perfume to her body or clothes or use anything
that is perfumed. This is by the statement of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) in
a saheeh hadeeth, "She
should not touch perfume."
2.
Beautification of her body: It is prohibited for her to dye her hands and feet
with henna and all types of beautification, such as kohl (eyeliner) and
different types of skin dye, unless she is forced to use kohl; for medicinal
purposes and not beautification in which case she is allowed to use it at night
and remove it during the day. There is no harm if she uses medicine for her
eyes that contains no beatification.
