What is the ruling on an image on a gold necklace
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, indeed. Yes, Shaykh Muhammad al-Uthaymeen. The Honorable Shaykh, the asking sister says that her husband traveled outside the Kingdom, and upon his return he brought her a necklace, and this necklace has an image of this man on both sides. She asks: Is it permissible for me to wear such a necklace, which has an image of my husband?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for her to wear it. If it has an image on it, no image of a human, no image of a snake, and no image of a lion, except if the head is cut off. If the head is cut off, there is no blame on her. Otherwise, she is sinful. I think her husband did that only as a form of honor for her. I do not think he believes that this is a cause of affection and love between them, because that is a false belief. However, he is thanked for his good intention, but he has to remove the head from this chain that he brought for his wife, and it is not permissible for her to wear
The presenter : that,
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good, and thank you to the asking sister.
