Summary
Using skincare products containing a large quantity of gold, whether in crystal, soap, 24-karat mask or other forms, is forbidden for men. It is permissible where the gold content exceeds the other ingredients and the purpose is to treat severely damaged facial skin or conceal a facial blemish, as this falls under hajiyyah (need). Products with a very small amount of gold are permissible even without need, meaning the gold cannot be separated from the other ingredients by means such as smelting.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menggunakan produk penjagaan kulit yang mengandungi emas sama ada berbentuk hablur, sabun, masker dua puluh empat (24) karat atau apa -apa bentuk lain s ekiranya produk tersebut mengandungi kuantiti emas yang banyak adalah haram bagi lelaki.
