the night prayer.” (1) Women would go out for the night prayer and pray with the Prophet ﷺ, and likewise for the dawn prayer.
Accordingly, if a woman wishes to go out wearing perfume, her guardian may prevent her; rather, in this case he must prevent her, because the Prophet ﷺ forbade her from attending the night prayer while perfumed. Likewise, if she goes out displaying her adornment, wearing decorative clothing, noisy sandals, high heels, or the like, he may prevent her by analogy with preventing her from going out perfumed.
His statement, “Her home is better for her,” excludes going out for the Eid prayer. For women, going out for the Eid prayer is sunnah, because the Prophet ﷺ commanded that young women and secluded virgins should come out. (2) “Young women” means freeborn women of noble standing, while “secluded virgins” refers to unmarried girls who are accustomed to remaining in their private quarters. He even instructed menstruating women to go out for the Eid prayer, except that he commanded them to keep away from the place of prayer, because the Eid prayer-ground is a mosque.
However, she must go out without displaying adornment or wearing perfume. Rather, she should go out with tranquillity and dignity, without raising her voice or laughing with her companions, and without walking in the manner of men. Instead, her gait should be that of a woman: a gait marked by modesty, shyness, and dignity.
