Question:
What is the ruling on wearing watches coated with gold water, given that the proportion is very small, and sometimes it is also written on watches that are very cheap?
Answer:
Gold is not permissible for men, neither in clothing nor in vessels nor in watches. If it is confirmed that they are coated with gold, they are not permissible for men. One must be cautious of this and not be lenient. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding gold and silk: Therefore, it is obligatory to be cautious of this and not to wear anything except something pure, such as silver or iron, or a mixture of silver and iron. As for gold, it is obligatory not to deal with it and not to be lenient in this matter; rather, that is for women.
