Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does what is called white gold fall under the gold that men are forbidden from wearing? Is it permissible for men to wear it? Or does it constitute imitating women?
Answer:
If what is called white gold is made of a material other than gold, such as platinum, precious stones, or the like, then it is not forbidden. However, if by white gold they mean original gold, but they have given it a white color, then it is not permissible, and it is forbidden, because it is gold, even if its color has changed. Yes.
