Summary
A flower bath may be acceptable as an effort if it involves no elements of shirk or superstition and is done only for health, bodily freshness and restoring one's spirits. It must not be believed to control or determine one's spouse. A spouse should be sought from Allah SWT through supplication, as supported by the Quranic verses and the hadith cited on asking Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika tidak disertakan unsur syirik dan khurafat, mungkin tidak mengapa sebagai ikhtiyar, bagi tujuan kesihatan, kesegaran badan dan terapi memulihkan semangat semata-mata.
