about the ruling on wearing a watch with a metal strap?

The questioner: NoteThe Shaykh : Our brother here that on his handThe Shaykh: There is a watch, and we all have watches on our hands. The strap here is made of iron. He says he read a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), meaning that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke about people or groups who use bracelets on their hands, and that we are not required to imitate these groups. Therefore, he wears a watch with a strap changed... to plastic. He wants to ask about this matter?

The Shaykh: There is no hadith like this, but I think it was confused for him!

The questioner: It was confused for him with another hadith.

The Shaykh: The one that exists is the prohibition of the iron ring.

The questioner: And that is what he saidThe Shaykh : Ali.

The Shaykh: It was confused for him. As for there being a hadith in the sense you attributed to him, and I think you are accurate in your attribution to him, it has no basis whatsoever. So, as you have accustomed us with your chatter, chatter to him that there is no hadith, but rather there is a prohibition of the iron ring. And this is not a ring.

The questioner : May Allah reward you, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.

The questioner: We are finished now.
