Assalamualaikum , Can men wear a wrist watch which is having gold contents inside like needle and dots . Jazakumullahu qhaira ! Mohammed Rumman
Answer :
Answer: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. There are two issues when determining the permissibility of wearing gold watches: 1. The content of the gold is more or equal to the non-gold content. Example: 21 carat (21K) gold watches. 2. The watch has more non-gold content than gold. Example: 4 carat (4K) gold watches. If the watch has more non-gold content than the gold, then it would be permissible for one to wear such a watch. If the content of the gold is more or equal to the non-gold content, then it would be permissible for one to wear such a watch based on the following conditions: 1. The gold content does not touch any portion of the body. 2. The main features of the watch do not contain any gold. Watch hands (needles) and numbers (dots) are the main features of a watch. Therefore if they are made of gold, it is not permissible to wear such a watch.
