Is it permissible for a woman to wear ornaments, gold, and accessories over her clothes and hijab outside the home and in front of non-mahram men, provided that only her face and hands are uncovered?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible for a woman to wear ornaments, gold, and accessories, but she must conceal her adornments when appearing before non-mahram men, based on the Almighty's saying: "And not display their adornment except what is apparent thereof." Therefore, displaying gold and similar items over clothing and the hijab in front of non-mahram men is considered a forbidden display of adornment.
