Ruling on an officer wearing gold stars on his military rank insignia
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he says: I have a friend who entered the military academy, and when he graduated and received his first rank, his father was happy for him and bought him a gold star instead of a brass one. Is it forbidden to wear it and put it on the uniform? Or is it permissible?
Answer:
It is not permissible to wear a gold star; the regular star is sufficient for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding gold and silk: And the gold ring is forbidden for men. The star is like the gold ring, or even more so, so it is not permissible for a man to wear a gold star or a gold ring. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
