Ruling on selling gold articles to men Q 54: Is it permissible to sell watches containing gold to men? Besides, what is the ruling on selling rings and pens that contain gold? What is the ruling on the profit that has already been earned through such transactions?  A: It is permissible to sell gold watches and rings to both men and women. However, it is not permissible for men to wear gold rings or watches, those plated with gold, or silver watches for these are only to be worn by women. In addition, silver rings are permissible for both men and women while gold and silver pens are not permissible to be used either by men or women. This is because gold and silver pens are not ornaments. Rather, using them is similar to using gold and silver vessels which is Haram (prohibited) for both men and women as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:  Do not drink in silver or gold vessels, and do not eat in plates of such metals, for such things are for them (disbelievers) in this worldly life and for you in the Hereafter. (Agreed upon by Imams Al-Bukhari and Muslim) | | (Part No. 19; Page No. 73) | |
Besides, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whoever drinks in gold and silver vessels is only filling their abdomen with Fire. (Related by Imam Muslim in his Sahih (authentic) Book of Hadith) The same ruling applies to spoons, tea or coffee cups, etc.I ask Allah to guide all Muslims to what pleases Him and to save them from the causes of His Wrath. May Allah grant us success. |
