Masjid

i read on certain sites that if a woman goes out of the house wearing perfume her prayers are not valid until she performs ghusl.There were also hadith references. But then there are scholars who say that ghusl is only mustahab in such a situation.Can u please tell me which is right?Is ghusl fardh or mustahab in a certain situation?And do similar restrictions apply if a woman goes out with other adornments?

Asalamualaykum,I have a few questions: 1. I was reading that the first Masjid built on earth was Masjid Al Aqsa. How is that possible if Umar(Radiallahu Anhu) built after the Prophet's (PBUH) death? How did Muhammad(PBUH) visit it if it wasn't there? Or was it meant as just the land? 2. I was reading a hadith in which it said that the earth was 6500(something like that) years old and that it would be Yawm Al Qiyamah when it reached 7000 years. How is that true when 1400 years have already past? 3. On many websites I find that Muslims are rejecting that Jesus(PBUH) is coming back near the Last Days. What is your response? Jazak Allahu Khairan Wa Asalamualaykum! 1. I visited www.mostmerciful.com denying that those authentic ahadith are truly authentic. They claim they're are fabrications! How does everyone know that Masjid Al Aqsa is where people claim it is today if Muhammad(PBUH) never told us where exactly it is? 2. I also read that authentic ahadith(such as the one saying the last days are when 7000 years pass) can be questioned whether they are fake or not. I sort of reject those too because only Allah knows when Yawm al Qiyamah is! 3. Websites like www.understanding-Islam.org say that because no ahadith in which Isa(PBUH) is coming back are found in other books like Malik Muwatta. PS. Could you sort of shorten my questions a little bit. I have a habit of writing long questions!

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. I'm a Muslim living in a Western country. Is it permissible to pray in a room with images or statues? If there is no other option, is it enough to use a sutrah (Arabic for: a barrier) for this purpose? Jazakum Allahu khayran.
