Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on wearing a watch plated with gold?
Answer:
For a man, it is not permissible. As for a woman, there is no harm. A man does not wear gold, nor anything containing gold, such as a watch, glasses, or anything else. It is not permissible for him to wear gold, whether a ring or anything else, or something gilded with gold. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding gold and silk:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5147Sahih (Darussalam)
