Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is another question, O our Shaykh?
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : I read in your book regarding gold.
The Shaykh : Yes, the one that is prohibited.
The questioner : The one that is prohibited; are a necklace or a bracelet considered among the prohibited items?
The Shaykh : It is the original form.
The questioner : The original form!
The Shaykh : Here there are three things.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The ring, the bracelet, and the necklace; these are forbidden for women, and anything other than that is permissible, unlike men, for whom all gold is [forbidden].
The questioner : Even if it is, for example, something that can be opened or something like that?
The Shaykh : Yes, of course; the point is not whether it can be opened or not.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The important thing is that it is a necklace; if it has a clasp here, it becomes a necklace.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : An open bracelet, or a single piece.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Like part of it, meaning, if it is like this now?!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is called a necklace; that is, like this, this is called a necklace, and like this is called a necklace, and like this is called a necklace; as long as it stays on the wrist, it is a necklace.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Likewise the ring; a ring is usually a connected loop.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Suppose it is separate, but it is fixed on the finger; likewise, the necklace; all of that is called a necklace. The issue of whether it is connected or separate has no effect on the matter. There is no god but Allah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
