The wisdom behind the prohibition of wearing gold for men

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is asking, Shaykh, a point in his previous question about the wisdom behind the prohibition of wearing gold for men?

Answer:
Allah knows best. This is a matter of scholarly disagreement. Some scholars say it is forbidden because it involves boasting and arrogance, while others say it is forbidden because it breaks the hearts of the poor. In any case, it is forbidden, and its prohibition is established; it is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man with a gold ring on his hand, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) took it and threw it on the ground. He said:
Is one of you going to take a piece of burning coal and put it in his handيعمد أحدكم إلى جمرة من النار فيضعها في يده
? Yes.
