The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: It is mentioned in some hadiths that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “As for silver, play with it as you please.”
The Shaykh:
As a toy.
The questioner:
As a toy. So what is the ruling on a man using a silver watch?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for a man to use silver except for a ring; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a ring of silver, and it is not mentioned that he used silver for anything other than a ring.
