Ruling on using a watch and a pen that contain gold

Question:
The questioner, whose name is indicated by the initials (M. B. 'A), says: What is the ruling on wearing a watch that has some gold in it—specifically on the edges—and a pen that also uses gold? What is the ruling on using such items?

Answer:
A gold-plated watch is not suitable for men; it is exclusively for women. A gold-plated watch is not suitable for men; this is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): And when he saw a man with a gold ring on his hand, he threw it away and said—(peace and blessings be upon him): Therefore, a man must not wear gold, whether in the form of a ring or anything else, nor a watch, nor anything else. Likewise, a gold pen should be avoided, and one should use a pen that contains neither gold nor silver. A believer should be scrupulous regarding his religion and stay away from doubtful matters. Yes.
