Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: “Is it obligatory upon a woman to sell some of her jewelry to pay for her Hajj expenses and those of her mahram?” He answered: “...It is not obligatory — except for the excess that goes beyond what is customary for adornment. That is like a student of knowledge who owns books he needs, but also possesses other books that are either duplicated or unnecessary.”
