Hadith 2681
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنِي رِبْعِيُّ بْنُ حِرَاشٍ، عَنِ امْرَأَتِهِ، عَنْ أُخْتٍ لِحُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَتْ: خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: "يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ، أَمَا لَكُنَّ فِي الْفِضَّةِ مَا تَحَلَّيْنَ بِهِ ؟ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ مِنْكُنَّ امْرَأَةٌ تَحَلَّى الذَّهَبَ فَتُظْهِرَهُ، إِلَّا عُذِّبَتْ بِهِ".
The sister of Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us and said: "O women! Can you not wear silver jewelry? Listen: Any woman among you who wears gold jewelry and displays it (i.e., shows her adornment to men out of pride, arrogance, and immodesty), she will be afflicted with punishment because of it."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2680)
The hadith is weak; therefore, it cannot serve as evidence for the prohibition of using gold jewelry.
A woman is permitted to wear jewelry made of gold and silver.
As for the issue of displaying adornment, this includes gold, silver, clothing, and makeup—all are encompassed. It is not permissible for any Muslim woman to display her adornment, as is stated in the Noble Qur’an: «﴿وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَى .....﴾ [الأحزاب: 33]» Translation: “And remain in your homes and do not display your adornment as was the display of the former times of ignorance...”
