Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on men wearing white gold?
Answer:
By white gold, they mean what they call gold, but it is not gold. The prohibition came specifically regarding gold and other metals that are not called gold. Even if it is precious, even if it is more expensive than gold, the default is permissibility. The default for clothing is permissibility, except for what evidence indicates is forbidden. Evidence has come regarding the prohibition of wearing gold and silk for men, so the matter is limited to what the prohibition specifically addressed. As for what the prohibition did not address, the default is permissibility. Yes.
