Answer in brief

Women, menstruation and mahram

Does a woman who wears gold rings and bracelets excessively during Hajj and Umrah affect the validity of her worship?

Answer in brief

Women are permitted to wear gold jewellery during Hajj and Umrah. It does not affect the pillars or validity of the rites and is not among the prohibitions of ihram. The fatwa nonetheless holds that excessive wearing of gold should be avoided as a precaution (sadd al-dhari'ah) against showing off (riya') and displaying adornment (tabarruj), so that the intention remains sincere for the sake of Allah.
