The ruling on a man wearing gold at his wedding in accordance with customs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We return to the message of one of our brother listeners from the Republic of Sudan. Our brother says: I am Hasan Ahmad Fadl Allah. We presented part of his questions in a previous episode, and in this episode he has a set of questions. For example, he asks and says:
Among our customs in wedding ceremonies, a crescent made of gold is placed on the groom's forehead, or on his chest, for a temporary period that does not exceed a few hours, which are the hours of the wedding and the consummation, and then it is removed, and it becomes the property of the bride afterwards. So, is wearing gold in this temporary case considered forbidden, or what do you say? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Yes, yes, it is not permissible; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:460 And once he took a piece of silk in his right hand, and a piece of gold in his left hand, then he said: .
So gold and silk are lawful for females, to adorn themselves with for their husbands; she wears silk, and she wears gold as adornment for the man. As for the male, it is not permissible for him to wear silk, and it is not permissible for him to wear gold, neither on the occasion of the wedding, nor on his hand, nor on his ear, nor on his leg, nor elsewhere, nor in his clothes. Gold is not his affair; gold is the affair of women.
And it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he saw a ring of gold on a man's hand, so he took it and threw it away, and said: So some people said to the man: Take your ring. He said: I will not take it, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has thrown it away, so he left it. This was out of aversion to what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was averse to and warned against, and perfection in following and obedience, to the extent that he did not take it because of the intensity of his dislike for what the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) disliked. Muslim narrated it in his Sahih from the hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).
And it is established in the two Sahihs from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him): "That he forbade wearing a ring of gold." And this piece that is placed on his forehead is greater than the ring, so it is obligatory to leave that.
And likewise, every bad custom that contradicts the Shari'ah must be left. Customs must submit to the ruling of Allah and His Messenger. So, whatever of them is in accordance with the Shari'ah, there is nothing wrong with it, and whatever of them contradicts the Shari'ah, it is obligatory to leave it, like this custom, and the custom of some people when they get married, they remain for days and nights not attending the congregation, and not praying in the mosque. And this is an error and an abomination. Rather, he should appear, and pray with the people in the Fajr and the rest of the prayers in the first night and others. So, the wedding does not prevent or justify leaving the obligatory. So, the believer does what is required of him in marriage, and what is customary from what Allah has permitted, but he does not leave what Allah has made obligatory upon him for the sake of a wedding. Rather, he prays with the people, and performs the other obligations, and fulfills the rights of his family, and there is no conflict between this and that. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, yes, it is not permissible; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Gold and silk are lawful for the females among my followers, but prohibited to the males
أحل الذهب والحرير لإناث أمتي، وحرم على ذكورهمThese two are lawful for the females of my Ummah, and forbidden for their males
هذان حل لإناث أمتي، حرام على ذكورهمSo gold and silk are lawful for females, to adorn themselves with for their husbands; she wears silk, and she wears gold as adornment for the man. As for the male, it is not permissible for him to wear silk, and it is not permissible for him to wear gold, neither on the occasion of the wedding, nor on his hand, nor on his ear, nor on his leg, nor elsewhere, nor in his clothes. Gold is not his affair; gold is the affair of women.
And it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he saw a ring of gold on a man's hand, so he took it and threw it away, and said:
One of you takes a piece of fire and puts it in his hand
يعمد أحدكم إلى جمرة من النار، فيضعها في يدهAnd it is established in the two Sahihs from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him): "That he forbade wearing a ring of gold." And this piece that is placed on his forehead is greater than the ring, so it is obligatory to leave that.
