The Ruling on Women Wearing Gold

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This questioner says: Shaykh Salih, I would like the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) to mention the stronger position regarding the wearing of gold by a woman, and if she wears it on occasions and at weddings?

Answer:
The permissible jewelry for a woman from gold is what is customary, what is customary among women, provided it does not reach the level of extravagance. If it is in a moderate amount, and it is the custom of the committed and moderate people, then there is nothing wrong with it, because a woman needs jewelry. Allah the Exalted said:
So is one brought up in ornamentsأَوَمَن يُنَشَّأُ فِي الْحِلْيَةِ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:18]
while being during conflict unevidentوَهُوَ فِي الْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:18]
, so a woman needs jewelry, but she should not be extravagant in it. Yes.
