The ruling on wearing gold for adornment during Hajj or 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The first message in this episode is one that reached us from Europe, specifically Britain. The sender is a Muslim woman from there who provided her address in English, and her handwriting is of the type common in the Maghreb, as we are accustomed to in this program. In any case, she has several questions. In one of them, she says: I have encountered several issues, and I hope to know the Islamic ruling regarding them. Then she asks: Is it not permissible for a woman performing 'Umrah or Hajj to adorn herself with gold or jewelry when performing the rites of Hajj or 'Umrah? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for the matter, it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to display her adornment when she goes out among men or is in the presence of men who are not her mahram (close relatives), whether in Hajj or otherwise. It is obligatory for her, if she is wearing jewelry, to cover it from men with her clothing or with whatever means of covering she has with her. There is no difference between a woman in the state of ihram and others regarding wearing jewelry; wearing gold does not invalidate the ihram, but she must cover it from men who are not her mahram, because displaying her adornment causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and draws attention to her. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and reward you. Our sister asks this question, and she is there where she mentioned her address. Perhaps Shaykh Salih will add to this as well. She mentioned this question and what concerns jewelry, and she is one who lives in those lands, where most of the inhabitants are non-Muslims. Perhaps Shaykh Salih will add to this.
The Shaykh:
In any case, she must fear Allah the Exalted and Majestic. And Allah is the One to be sought for help. She must hold fast to her religion. If it becomes possible for her to come to the lands of the Muslims and live with the Muslims, then this is an obligatory matter for her, because migration from the lands of disbelief to the lands of Islam is obligatory, and it remains so until the Hour stands. He said:Mishkat al-Masabih 2346 And if she is unable to migrate, then she must fear Allah the Exalted and Majestic, hold fast to her religion, maintain her prayer, maintain her chastity and dignity, and adhere to the Islamic hijab that covers her, protects her, and keeps the eyes of the greedy people of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) away from her. Yes.

as saying, "Emigration will not come to an end* till repentance comes to an end and repentance will not come to an end
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ الْهِجْرَةُ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِع التَّوْبَةُ وَلَا تَنْقَطِعُ التَّوْبَةُ حَتَّى...the sun rises from the west.
تخرج الشمس من مغربها،
