Wristwatches containing gold for men
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If small pieces of gold are permissible for men, what is the ruling on some wristwatches that contain some gold, which men wear?
Answer:
This is not permissible. There is no report that they used watches, eyeglasses, pens, or medicine. Rather, this is based on what came in the evidence, and the default is prohibition. However, what is excepted from this is only what came in the evidence and the practice of the righteous predecessors. Yes.
