The Ruling on a Woman Wearing Gold Earrings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Some people say that wearing gold is forbidden for women. What is your opinion?
Answer:
You have spoken the truth. In this age, the gold worn by women is lost, whether they are those who wear it or those who do not. This is the position of the scholars of knowledge, and the scholars have agreed upon it, as mentioned regarding the types of knowledge. As for the statement of some of our later brothers that it is forbidden and permissible, this is a weak opinion that contradicts the position of the scholars of knowledge and contradicts the correct evidence and the authentic hadiths. Therefore, it is not to be relied upon. We ask Allah to forgive the one who said it and to strengthen him.
