Wearing white gold by men
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for men to wear white gold?
The Shaykh:
There is no such thing as white gold; that is just a name, and it is not gold. There is no white gold; they call it white gold, but it is not gold. However, it is precious and may be more expensive than gold. The default ruling is permissibility. Allah has only forbidden gold and silk for men, and as for the rest of things, there is nothing wrong with them, even if they are precious or high in price, because they are not gold. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, she says.
The Shaykh:
Do not leave it as just a name, do not leave it as that, yes.
