Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is the ruling on wearing bracelets made of leather or iron? And are they to be judged by the same standard as a wristwatch?
Answer:
It is not permissible to wear bracelets. Wearing bracelets is for women; it is not for men, except if there is a need for it, such as a patient in a hospital who has a band placed on his arm to indicate the type of his illness. This is permissible out of necessity.
