What is the ruling in Islam regarding gold rings for women, such as bracelets and circular rings? Because I heard a hadith meaning: ?
Answer: This hadith, with regard to its chain of narration, is acceptable, but it is abrogated with respect to women, or it is an anomalous narration that contradicts the authentic hadiths. As for the man, gold is forbidden for him. A man is not permitted to wear gold, whether in a ring or otherwise; rather, he wears a ring of silver, based on his statement (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 2:460. In some hadiths, it is reported that he (peace and blessings be upon him) took a piece of gold and a piece of silk and said: . Other hadiths have come in this meaning, indicating the permissibility of gold and silk for females, and its prohibition for males, even if they are young or children. It is not permissible to dress them in gold or silk while they are male. As for what has been reported to the contrary, regarding the prohibition of women wearing rings and the warning against it, these are hadiths that, according to the scholars, are either weak or anomalous, abrogated, and contradictory to the authentic hadiths.
The Muslims have agreed upon the permissibility of gold and silk for females, whether the gold is in the form of a ring like a bracelet or not. This is the correct view. Whoever among our later brothers says that it is forbidden for a woman to wear a ring, his statement is a weak and weaker position that contradicts what the authentic hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) have brought, and it contradicts the consensus that more than one scholar has narrated. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, al-Nawawi, al-Bayhaqi, and a group of others have narrated the permissibility of gold and silk for females and its prohibition for males. These scholars and others have narrated the consensus of the Ummah on this matter. Therefore, the hadiths that suggest the prohibition of gold for women if it is in the form of a ring must be considered abrogated and not remaining in effect, or anomalous and contradictory to the authentic hadiths. This is because the rule among the scholars is that if a hadith contradicts one that is more authentic, it is considered anomalous. And if it is abrogated by later authentic hadiths, its ruling is lifted. It has come in the authentic hadith:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5148Sahih (Darussalam). This indicates that it was made permissible after it was forbidden. Therefore, the permissibility for females is evidence that there is no difference between the ring and other forms. Whoever among some of our later brothers says that the ring is forbidden is mistaken. The correct view is that the ring and other forms of gold are permissible for females. Yes.

Whoever wants to guide his beloved to a bracelet of fire, let him guide her to a bracelet of gold.
