The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the issue of the prohibition against wearing an iron bracelet, and the hadiths you authenticated in the book on wedding etiquette, does wearing these wristwatches fall under that? Does wearing a wristwatch fall under wearing an iron bracelet?
The Shaykh : In my opinion, I cannot say to you that it is permissible or not permissible before verifying the principle we want to build upon. Is the word "bracelet" in the hadith?
The questioner : In the hadith about whoever loves to wear a ring, the wearing of a ring, is there not the word "bracelet" in it?
The Shaykh : In that case, we are relieved of the answer.
The questioner : Okay.
The Shaykh : And the free man is sufficient with a gesture.
