Questioner: As-Salāmu ʿalaikum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh.
Al-Albaani: Wa ʿalaikum as-salām wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu wa maghfiratuh.
Questioner: How is our Shaikh?
Al-Albaani: Alḥamdulillāh, well.
Questioner: May Allaah bless you.
Al-Albaani: May Allaah protect you.
Questioner: Shaikh, brother Abū Māhir is here [with a question]: A lady or young woman put some perfume on at home then was compelled to leave the house without having removed said perfume, and she knows the legislated ruling, but she was lazy whilst [at the same time] being afraid that men might smell it, does she fall under the penalty mentioned in the prophetic ḥadīth and is thus a fornicator?
Al-Albaani: I hope that if she is truthful in what you are reporting about her that she is not someone who falls into that category.
Questioner: We hope for that from Allaah.
Al-Albaani: Yes.
Questioner: May Allaah bless you and keep you under His Care.
Al-Albaani: May Allaah protect you, O Abū Māhir.
Questioner: May Allaah honour you, my Shaikh, my teacher.
Al-Albaani: [Keep me in] your prayers.
Questioner: May Allaah make us and you steadfast.
