Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: It is forbidden for men to wear gold. What is the wisdom behind that, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is not something that befits men and their chivalry, and men do not need to adorn themselves with gold. This is one of the characteristics of women. Allah the Exalted said:[Az-Zukhruf 43:18] meaning women [Az-Zukhruf 43:18] So adornment is one of the characteristics of women, not one of the characteristics of men. The characteristics of men are chivalry and manliness, and softness and adorning themselves with women's adornment are not among their characteristics. Yes.
