Female using men's itr

· 6 Muharram 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I've got an itr which I'm not certain if it is meant for males or females (but I strongly think its a men's itr). Will it be permissible for me, as a female, to use that itr in the house or will it be counted as imitating men?

Answer

Yes, as long as it is not used for ghayr mahrams.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
