Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on using a misbaha (prayer beads) and a pen if they are made of silver?
Answer:
It is not permissible. It is not permissible to use vessels made of gold or silver, nor to use prayer beads made of gold or silver, nor pens. This is not permissible. Only women are permitted to wear jewelry made of gold and silver. And for a man, gold is permitted only when there is a need for it, such as for binding teeth or the nose. As for silver, it is permissible for him to wear a ring made of silver, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore one. Yes.
