Ruling on Wearing a Watch with a Cross on It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The ruling is said to be prohibition or dislike: What is the ruling for one who wears a watch with a cross on it?
Answer:
No, it is forbidden. This is not permissible. The cross must be covered with something; by scratching it off, or by applying something like paint or other medication to remove it.
Q: What if it was not intentional?
A: Even if it was not intentional, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave anything with a cross on it without removing it. The watch with a cross on it must have the cross cut out of it, or something like paint must be applied to it to hide it.
