The ruling on wearing white gold and what is more expensive than gold
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on men wearing white gold?The Shaykh: White gold! Is there such a thing as white gold?The questioner: Yes, there is white gold.
The Shaykh: There is no such thing as white gold, man.
Allah is the Helper! The questioner: They call it white gold. I saw a man wearing a ring of white gold, and he said to me: It is white gold.
The Shaykh: We do not know of any white gold, man.
The questioner: It is available, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Does it not have the color of red gold?The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: So if you see it, it is not gold.
The questioner: But its name is gold, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: The name is of no consequence. People today call petroleum black gold.Do we say: Is it permissible for a person to wear petroleum? To stick it to his hand and be considered as wearing gold? In any case, look, my brother, gold is the red one, and what is white is not gold, even if it is called gold. But if one wears this, it is considered extravagance and becomes forbidden on the side of extravagance. And on this basis, if a poor man wears this ring,We said: it is forbidden for you; because it is considered extravagance in his case. And if a rich man wears it, it is not forbidden for him because it is not considered extravagance.
The questioner: And what is the ruling on wearing what is more expensive than gold?The Shaykh: If its base is red gold, that is looked into. But if it is an independent metal, it is permissible, even if it is called gold, and even if it is more expensive than gold.
