The Ruling on a Woman Wearing Gold Earrings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Some people say that wearing gold rings is forbidden for women. What is your opinion?
Answer:
This matter has been discussed in our time. Wearing gold rings for women is permissible; it is permissible for both women who wear rings and those who do not. This is the position of the scholars of knowledge, and the scholars have reached a consensus on it, as mentioned by more than one scholar of knowledge. As for the statement of some of our later brothers that it is forbidden and that it is permissible, this is a weak and weaker position, contrary to the position of the scholars of knowledge, and contrary to the correct evidence and the authentic hadiths. This is not to be relied upon. We ask Allah to forgive the one who said it and to guide him to the right path.
