What is the ruling on wearing gold-plated items for men and women?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : Is Shaykh Al-Albani present?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : O Shaykh, in the UAE fatwas, on the seventh cassette, it is written, meaning compiled in a book in print. There is a question, number ninety-two: Is it permissible to use and sell some gold-plated tools? The answer: If it is plated, and if the plating is a small amount, there is no harm in it. But if it is a large amount such that it is true that it is being used as gold, then at that point, the distinction in this ruling comes between men and women. Meaning, is it permissible to wear gold-plated items?
The Shaykh: With this detail regarding men, but as for women.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: So gold is lawful in its entirety, except for what is pure gold.
The questioner : Yes, well, if it is silver plated with pure gold, is it permissible?
The Shaykh: As for women, it is permissible, and as for men, it is according to the detail mentioned.
The questioner : Yes, well, O Shaykh, what is the evidence for that?
The Shaykh: So that we may know that you are one of the people of evidence, we will enter into the detail now. It is a question and answer, and there is no room for delivering lectures.
The questioner : Yes.
