Clothes and adornment of a woman in her `Iddah


613

A: It is Haram (prohibited) for a woman who is in her `Iddah to wear adorned clothes; she may wear ordinary clothes that are not adorned and that do not look like men's clothes. It is also Haram for her to wear jewels or apply makeup and perfume, whether to her body or her clothes. There is no harm in using some scent when performing Ghusl (ritual bath) after the end of the menstrual period. There is also no harm in using shampoo and other detergents, such as Sidr (lotus jujube), soap and others while bathing. It is permissible for her to talk on the telephone if it does not lead to Fitnah (temptation) or something prohibited. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
