We'll take the next question.
I
am Ishrat Shah.
I'm from Kashmir and currently
residing in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. Gold is haram
for Muslim men. But can
Muslim men wear copper ring, a copper ring
that is gold in color.
1st, we'll discuss
the ruling regarding
men wearing gold.
According to all the 4 madahib, the Hanafi
school of thought, the Shafi'i school of thought,
the Maliki school of thought, and the Humbly
school of thought, all the 4 madahib,
they say that it is prohibited for a
man to wear gold.
And there are several hadith of Allah prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him, including the hadith
that is mentioned in Sunun Abu Dawood,
hadith number 4057,
and this hadith is mentioned in
and it is also reported by Imam Ahmed
and in other books of a hadith as
well. Abulullah prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
he took silk and he placed it on
his right hand, and he took gold and
he placed it on his left hand. And
he said,
that these 2 are prohibited for the men
of my nation, referring to silk and gold.
And another hadith of Allah prophet Muhammad be
upon him said, and this hadith mentioned Sahih
Muslim hadith number
2078.
That the prophet, peace be upon him, prohibited
men from wearing a gold ring. So the
ahadith are crystal clear which prohibit a Muslim
man from wearing
gold.
Whether it be a gold watch, whether it
be a gold ring or whether it be
gold jewelry, etcetera. All of this is prohibited
for a Muslim man to wear. Now as
far as a ring is concerned,
the general ruling
for wearing a ring, a man can wear
a ring,
but it should not be a gold ring.
And the prophet peace be on him himself
wore a ring And on it, it was
written Muhammad Rasulullah,
Muhammad the messenger of Allah, peace be upon
him. So the prophet, peace be upon him,
did wear a ring. Now a person can
wear a ring that is gold in color,
whether it be a copper ring or iron
ring, as long as it is not pure
gold and as long as it is not
gold plated. So if it is not pure
gold and if it's not gold plated, there
is no problem in wearing a ring that
is merely gold in color. The best is
that a person avoids wearing such a ring
because people may think that he's wearing a
gold ring,
a gold ring that is pure gold. And
especially for those people who are and those
who are student of knowledge, the best is
to avoid wearing
a ring that is gold in color because
a person may think that he's wearing something
that is haram
because they may think that he's wearing gold.
The same is the case with a watch
that is not pure gold, but it's merely
gold in color and it is not gold
plated. The best is to avoid wearing such
a watch
because a person may think that he's do
that this individual is wearing a gold
watch or a watch that is pure gold.
But if a person wishes, the Islamic ruling
is that but natural, he can wear
a ring that is gold in color. It
should not be pure gold and should not
be gold plated.
I hope that answers your question.
