Cubic Zirconia and crystal in jewelry

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Please could you tell me if women can wear jewellery with Cubic Zirconia in them? I have a couple bracelets with Cubic Zirconia in it and some with crystal so please could you tell me if I can wear them? 

Answer

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

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

Cubic zirconia (also known as CZ) is similar to a diamond with its brilliance and crystal clarity, but it is a synthesized (man-made) crystalline material that is colorless, hard, and flawless. It looks so much like a diamond, it is an affordable alternative to diamonds. It can made in different colors to simulate the different colors of a diamond[1]. This should not be mistaken with zirconium which is a different chemical element that is a metal that is silvery white. Zirconium in its powdered form is used with other elements to create a cubic zirconia.

It is permissible to wear bracelets and jewelry with Cubic Zirconia and crystals in them[2].

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best

 وَيَجُوزُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ فَصَّهُ عَقِيقًا أَوْ فَيْرُوزَجًا أَوْ يَاقُوتًا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ،

قال: لا بأس بأن يكون الفص من الحجر، وهذا دليل على أن العبرة في الحظر والإباحة للخدم لا للفص وهو المذهب؛ لأنه إنما يصير مستعملاً للحلقة لا للفص. قال: ولا بأس بمسمار الذهب يجعل في الفص؛ يريد به المسمار ليحفظ به الفص

والحلقة هي المعتبرة؛ لأن قوام الخاتم بها، ولا معتبر بالفص حتى يجوز أن يكون من حجر
