Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I turn to you, O Shaykh. He says: If the hadith were authentic, O Shaykh, does it mean that it is permissible for men to wear cut gold?
Answer:
It is abrogated. This is why, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a ring on a man’s hand, he took it. One of them might even take a burning coal and put it in his hand. Yes, yes. Even if it were authentic, it is abrogated. Yes. No, abrogated is sufficient. If it is abrogated, it is weak and anomalous. Yes, yes. Yes, yes.
