Question:
What is the ruling on a man wearing a watch with plates of diamonds, even though he does not intend arrogance by wearing it?
Answer:
Diamond is not gold, nor is it silver; it is another metal. So I do not know of anything [forbidden] in it. However, if one leaves it off for the sake of humility, submission to Allah, and fear of extravagance, that is good, if Allah wills. Otherwise, I do not know of anything [forbidden] in it.
What is prohibited is wearing it in silver or gold. As for diamond, we do not know of anything [forbidden] in it, because it is another metal. However, leaving it off is for the sake of humility, and for the sake of caution against being described as extravagant or wasteful. The ordinary watch that people wear is sufficient for him.
As for women, the matter is easier and there is no blame on them.
