Veil Verse Application On Women Showing Jewellery On Various Occasions?
I’ve recently listened to Ghamidi Sb’s response series of Pardah. I have some questions. The Quran emphasises not showing the jewellery except for which is worn on hands, wrists, face and feet. (in front of non mehrams) Does this apply on all occasions of gathering including wedding? Or if a woman wears a necklace on her chest when she’s a bride, it’ll be considered an exception?

No, it cannot be considered as an exception. The only exceptions are those which are already mentioned in Quran.
It is necessary for women in particular not to display any of their embellishments except before their close relatives, attendants and people of acquaintance. However, exempted from this are embellishments adorned on limbs which are generally never covered: ie. the jewellery and make-up worn on the hand, the face and the feet. Therefore, barring the embellishments worn on these places, women must hide the ones worn in all other places. So much so, in the presence of men, they should not walk by striking their feet in a manner which draws attention to any hidden embellishments they may be wearing. On these very grounds, the Prophet (sws) bade women not to use strong perfumes when they go out.
– Relatives and people of acquaintance before which the above mentioned display of ornaments is not forbidden are:
i. Husband
ii. Father
iii. Father-in-law
iv. Sons
v. Sons of the Husband
vi. Brothers
vii. Brothers Sons
viii. Sisters Sons
ix. Women of acquaintance and Maids
x. People who live in a house as dependents and because of their subservience or owing to any other reason are incapable of feeling any attraction towards women.
xi. Children who are as yet unaware of sexual matters.
