The question

Does perfuming oneself specifically for the mosque necessitate a ritual bath (ghusl) for the prayer to be accepted, or does perfuming oneself in general upon going out necessitate ghusl? And is ghusl required if perfuming oneself for an occasion other than the mosque, along with the sin incurred?

The answer

Clarifying the meaning of the hadith mentioned in Fatwa no. 97154, and that the woman's command to perform ghusl aims to remove the scent of perfume. Whether she goes to the mosque or elsewhere, ghusl is obligatory for her. If the perfume did not cover her entire body, then she is only required to wash the specific area where the perfume was applied.
