Ruling on a woman wearing gold jewelry?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a husband orders his wife to do something in a matter where there is scholarly disagreement between prohibition and permissibility, such as wearing gold jewelry, and she believes it is forbidden while he orders her to wear it, does this count as part of the hadith
A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالق؟
Mishkat al-Masabih 3696


Answer:
Wearing gold jewelry and other adornments is permissible for women, because Allah permitted women to adorn themselves without restricting it to gold or non-gold. The hadiths permitted this without restriction, except for this anomalous hadith. The scholars say it is anomalous because it contradicts what is more authentic than it, and the scholars’ practice is based on permissibility. What does this man say about the ring? He forbids the ring for the woman. He forbids the necklace for the woman because it is gold. What is this talk? The correct view is with the majority of the scholars, and it is almost a consensus that wearing gold jewelry is permissible for women. Yes.
