Question

Is wearing fake jewelry permissible? I heard from some mufti's in Buffalo that you can't wear fake jewelry.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible for females to wear imitation jewelry besides rings. Females may only wear rings of gold or silver.[1]

And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best.
