Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. Rose gold jewelry is a mixture of yellow gold with copper. All gold jewelry is a mixture of pure gold with either copper or silver colored alloys. Rose gold has more copper colored alloys, thus creating a pinkish hue to the gold. Depending on the amount of copper used, the color of rose gold jewelry can be a very light and subtle pink to a more deep reddish hue. Rose gold jewelry comes in 9K, 14K, and 18K gold. It has as much pure gold in it as the more commonly known yellow gold. In principle, wearing a watch containing gold or silver is not permitted if the gold or silver touches the body. Also the main part of the watch from which the watch is benefitted must not include gold or silver. We have seen the watch referred to in the query. The gold or silver around the band will touch the hand when wearing the watch. Furthermore, the watch has polished rose-gold-tone hands. The hands of a watch are the main instruments in displaying the time. Hence the wearing of the watch in reference is impermissible. Note that this ruling is applicable only if the content of gold in the rose-gold is equivalent to or more than the content of copper. If the content of copper is more than the gold, then this is not pure gold. Hence, if the rose-gold is 9K, then the referenced watch is permissible to wear. And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best Mawlana Abdul Azīm bin Abdur Rahman,
