Summary
Men are permitted to wear gold when there is a need or necessity, such as a health problem, based on the hadith of Arfajah bin As'ad, whom the Prophet instructed to use a nose made of gold. Wearing it for adornment or non-medical purposes, such as a pen in the pocket or a wristwatch, is not allowed. According to the majority of scholars, pure silk and gold are forbidden for men and permitted for women. Using gold and silver as plates or vessels for eating and drinking is forbidden for both men and women.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pemakaian bagi tujuan perhiasan atau selain daripada perubatan seperti pen yang diletak dipoket, dan jam tangan. Maka hukumnya tidak dibolehkan.
