The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman in the waiting period for her husband to drink saffron and wear an expensive watch?
The Shaykh:
No, she does not drink saffron because it is a type of perfume, and she is prohibited from using perfume. She does not wear the watch because it is a form of adornment. Even if it were not expensive, she would not wear it because it is a form of adornment and jewelry.
The questioner:
He says: In it.
The Shaykh:
The watch that has a face, look at the watch that has a face and tells the time, yes.
