Is it permissible to wear gold on the hijab?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Wearing gold is permissible for women, and it is a form of adornment that they are forbidden from displaying before strangers, due to Allah’s saying: "And not display their adornment except what is apparent thereof." This means that it is not permissible to display adornment except for what cannot be concealed, such as outer garments. However, gold and jewelry can be concealed.
