Ruling on a woman displaying jewelry and the like above the hijab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A letter reached the program from one of the female listeners. At the end of her letter, she said: Umm Mu'adh asks and says: Is it permissible for a woman to wear gold above the hijab? Many girls do this, and I told them: It is forbidden, and it is adornment. They said: No, it is visible adornment that is not intended. What is the ruling in this? And what is the meaning of visible adornment? According to my knowledge, visible adornment is the clothing, and Allah knows best.
I hope you will inform me, and the sisters, about this issue.
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Displaying gold, and all other jewelry, whether diamond or not, is displaying adornment that Allah has forbidden women to show to unrelated men, just as it is forbidden for her to display her hair, and the rest of her body, such as her face, neck, chest, and the like. Likewise, displaying gold, displaying bracelets and necklaces, none of this is permissible. This is based on the saying of the Exalted: [Al-Nur: 31]. Her face, and what is on her chest in the form of necklaces, and what is on her neck, and what is on her head, all of this is adornment that is forbidden to display. Gold is among the most beautiful adornments, so it is not permissible for her to display what tempts men and causes attraction to the woman. However, she should strive to cover it with clothing and veils, and the like, so that nothing of it is visible, except her eye, or the eye or the two eyes. Yes.
