Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. The questioner says: You mentioned that gold is forbidden for men in this world. Is this prohibition limited to what is eaten or drunk, or does it include wearing a watch, a pen, and glasses?

Answer:
A man must not use it as clothing, whether it is a ring, a pen, or a watch. A man does not use gold except for what has been permitted, such as the hilt of a sword, the decoration of a bridle, and the like. Or binding teeth with gold if there is a need for it. It is permissible for him because gold does not corrode in the mouth. It is permissible to bind teeth with gold out of necessity. As for doing it for the sake of adornment, it is forbidden for a man. Yes, in his clothing, in his watch, in his pen, in his ring, it is all forbidden. Yes.
