Zuhri said that if the husband of a young girl also passes away, I do not consider the use of perfume permissible for her either, because 'iddah is also obligatory upon her. Abdullah bin Yusuf Tinnisi narrated to us, he said: Imam Malik informed us, from Abdullah bin Abi Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm, from Humaid bin Nafi', and from him Zainab bint Abi Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) informed about these three hadiths.

Narrated Humaid bin Nafi`: Zainab bint Abu Salama told me these three narrations: Zainab said: I went to Um Habiba, the wife of the Prophet when her father, Abu- Sufyan bin Herb had died. Um ,Habiba asked for a perfume which contained yellow scent (Khaluq) or some other scent, and she first perfumed one of the girls with it and then rubbed her cheeks with it and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'It is not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than three days unless he is her husband for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days.'"
