Praise be to ALLAH the most Merciful, The Most High
Abu Moosa al-Ashari (may ALLAH be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: "Silk and gold have been permitted for the females of my ummah, and have been forbidden for the males."(Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 4/393; see also Saheeh al-Jaami, 207).
The market nowadays is filled with any number of items designed for men, such as watches, spectacles, buttons, pens, chains and so-called "medallions," made of gold of various standards, or completely gold-plated.
One of the common sins occurs in competitions where among the prizes are mens gold watches.
Ibn Abbaas (may ALLAH be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) saw a man wearing a gold ring; he took it and threw it aside, saying, "Would any of you take a burning ember from Hell and hold it in his hand?"After the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) had gone away, someone suggested to the man: "Why don't you take your ring and benefit from it (sell it)?"He said, "No, by ALLAH, I will never take it back when the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) has thrown it aside."(Reported by Muslim, 3/1655).
Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For you are the All-Hearing, the All-knowing. (Al Qur'an 2:127)
