Is it permissible for women to wear circled gold?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah has permitted Muslim women to adorn themselves with gold, silver, and all types of jewelry, based on the general evidence from the Quran and Sunnah. Among these is the Almighty's saying: ﴿Or is it one who is brought up in adornment and is not able to make his argument clear in a dispute?﴾, and the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: «Gold and silk have been made lawful for the females of my Ummah and forbidden for its males.» The scholars of the Salaf have unanimously agreed on the permissibility of women wearing all gold. As for the hadiths that outwardly seem to prohibit women from wearing gold, they are aberrant and contradict the authentic, established hadiths. A woman must conceal her adornments from non-mahram men.
