Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Zakariya, I am speaking with you.
The Shaykh : Who?
The questioner : Zakariya from America.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : How is your health, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Why is the voice clearer today than it was that day?
The questioner : I changed the phone.
The Shaykh : Ha ha, that is it.
The questioner : We have two phones in the house.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : We have a few questions, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : When does gold become gold such that it is forbidden for men?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Is there a specific proportion of gold that makes it forbidden? I mean, a specific percentage of gold; if a ring is plated with gold, is it considered a gold ring?
The Shaykh : It is not considered a gold ring, but it is considered a doubtful matter, and the Muslim should stay away from it.
The questioner : Yes. Is there a specific limit for gold such that it is said to be forbidden rather than a doubtful matter?
The Shaykh : All gold is forbidden for men.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : As for plating, you understood its ruling just now.
The questioner : Even for women, meaning, if a gold-plated ring is worn, it is not said to be forbidden?
The Shaykh : Your saying "even" is incorrect.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Because if you said "even for men," it would be correct.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Are you trying to make me understand with understanding or without understanding?
The questioner : Perhaps without understanding.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is how it is; I do not want you to be without understanding.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Ah, the important thing is, did you understand the answer?
The questioner : That it is not only for women, but also for men.
The Shaykh : Yes. Now the statement is correct.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Who?
