The answer

The verse ("And let them not stamp their feet so as to make known what they conceal of their adornment") prohibits drawing attention to hidden adornments. This includes stamping the ground with one's feet to make the sound of anklets audible, and it encompasses anything that leads to temptation, such as moving bracelets or wearing perfume when going out. There is no explicit prohibition against wearing high heels, but the ruling on it depends on the woman's intention: if her intention is to draw attention, or if it naturally leads to temptation, then it is forbidden. However, if the intention is permissible and it does not result in drawing attention, then there is no harm in it. Some scholars have disliked wearing high heels due to the deception involved, the risk of falling, and the health detriments.
