Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, your sister (E. D. M.) from Al-Bahah in the land of Zahran, says: Is it forbidden for a woman in mourning to wear a wristwatch on her hand? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Leaving it off is safer as a precaution, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam); because it resembles jewelry. Wearing a wristwatch on the hand while in mourning resembles jewelry, so the safest course for her is to leave it off; because it resembles a waistband and the like of what is worn on the hand, such as a bracelet and others. Yes.
