Women Going Out To The Masjid So Long As No Fitnah Results From That; and They Should Not Go Out Wearing Perfume

باب خُرُوجِ النِّسَاءِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ إِذَا لَمْ يَتَرَتَّبْ عَلَيْهِ فِتْنَةٌ وَأَنَّهَا لاَ تَخْرُجُ مُطَيَّبَةً

Sahih Muslim 442g
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَابْنُ، رَافِعٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ابْنٌ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ وَاقِدٌ إِذًا يَتَّخِذْنَهُ دَغَلاً ‏.‏ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ فِي صَدْرِهِ وَقَالَ أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتَقُولُ لاَ ‏.‏
"‏ ائْذَنُوا لِلنِّسَاءِ بِاللَّيْلِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ ‏"
Ibn 'Umar reported:

Grant permission to women for going to the mosque in the night. His son who was called Waqid said: Then they would make mischief. He (the narrator) said: He thumped his (son's) chest and said: I am narrating to you the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and you say: No!
