Men Adorning Themselves with Gold and Tinted Metals

The questioner:
Are the pen and the three Medinan items among the things forbidden for men?

The Shaykh:
All gold, whether pure gold or plated, is forbidden for men to adorn themselves with. Neither rings, nor watches, nor glasses, nor any of it is permissible for men. This is a characteristic specific to women; adorning with gold is a characteristic of women. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took silk and gold, and gave it to the women among them. Therefore, it is not permissible for a man to adorn himself with gold. Yes, if it contains no gold, if it is of the type that contains no gold, this is not gold, they say. It has not been established that it is gold.

Another questioner:
Perfect.

The Shaykh:
They say, but it did not prove to be correct upon examination and testing; it did not prove to be correct. Yes. Yes. Also, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the border of silk in a garment. He permitted the border of silk in the garment, and the border is the embroidery. It is forbidden for a man to wear silk, but it is permissible for him to embroider, for example, the garment with a border of silk, such as the cuffs, for example, and the pocket. They said it is like what is found in the bisht (cloak). If it is established that this is gold, but it is not gold upon examination, no silver is found in it, and nothing is obtained from it.

Another questioner:
If the person comes with a shell, and a knot is made from a group of them, or one of them,

The Shaykh:
If this is established, then it is not permissible. If it is established that something is obtained from it, then it is not permissible. But if it is not established, then it is not this gold, nor is it silver; it is only something whose color is the color of gold or the color of silver, but it is not so. Yes.

Another questioner:
Until we meet again.

The Shaykh:
Because it contains dyes or pigments that resemble the color of gold or the color of silver. Yes. It is not permissible for a man to use silver except for a ring, and of gold and silver, what is necessitated by dire necessity, such as binding teeth, for example. Binding teeth is permissible because teeth are not suitable to be bound with silver, because silver gets dirty and rusts. As for gold, it does not rust in the mouth, so it is permissible out of dire necessity. It is permissible for a person to bind his teeth with something of gold, or to place something of gold on a tooth in order to preserve it, or. This is for dire necessity. Yes.
