Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a woman wearing high heels?
Answer:
High heels and the tightness of the clothing cause a woman to fall if she walks on anything other than a normal surface. This is an affectation for which Allah has not sent down any authority. It contains no adornment; there is no beauty in it, only a fashion followed by some of the wealthy. It has neither adornment nor beauty, and it carries the danger that the woman may fall.
