Question

I would like to ask u one query does mangalsutra or kaali pooth ka maala is permissible in islam or not whether a muslin women can wear it ?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh.

It is Makrooh-e-Tahreemi (very undesirable) for a Muslim to wear a Mangal suthr or Kaali pooth ka mala as it symbolizes Hinduism and is regarded as something very holy in their religion.

And Allah knows best
