السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته I was wondering about the issue with wearing gold in Islam. My boyfriend, a Pakistani Muslim, said that it's against his faith to wear it. I don't know if it is cultural thing or if it is actually a religious taboo.
My dad told me about the desert nomads and how their wives would wear their wealth in amounts of gold and silver jewelry (how many are practicing Muslims is beyond my guess) during his travels through Egypt, Oman, Yemen and some other random Middle Eastern country that I can't remember.
I personally don't wear it in person because I find it too flashy and it doesn't go well with my skin tone. stupid, i know.
But is there an issue with wearing gold? Like jewelry and such? Why and where is it in the Qu'ran or the Hadiths?

One thing I know is that women are not allowed to wear golds in public because it may attract unsolicited desires.
but i've been told that no such rule is also set on men.

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته then that means that men are unattractive...? xd
seriously, why is it always assumed that women would only give solicitous desires....
...there are good-looking, lusty men out there too...
eh, maybe another thread should have this...

eh, maybe another thread should have this... hehe biggrin not so. i guess it's because men are more capable of resisting that "desire". physically i mean. on your second point, i guess it's because women are expected to be more refined and modest than men. i'm not totally sure, i tell you. biggrin i lol with the word 'lusty'.

Cool. I've found a site about Gold in Islam. I think I've been totally wrong about my first post. Accdg to what I've read men aren't allowed to wear gold and silk while women can. it has also been told that other items aren't allowed for men like gold pen, gold watch, gold cigarette case and lighter, gold teeth, etc because it entails conspicuous spending. gold aren't allowed because the Prophet (SAW) told that those men who wear it will not wear it in the life on the hereafter. why not on women? well, i recommend reading this site: Clothing and Adornment

thanks Prof Albus PWB Dumbledore for the source and here is what is more important for this topic the source given above Gold and Pure Silk are Haram for Men Beautification and elegance are not merely permitted but are required by Islam, and in general it repudiates any attempts to prohibit them. Say: Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has brought forth for His servants, and the good things of His providing? (7:32) Islam has, however, prohibited two kinds of adornment for men, while permitting them to women. These are, first, gold ornaments and, second, clothing made of pure silk. 'All reported that the Prophet (peace be on him) took some silk in his right hand and some gold in his left, declaring, "These two are haram for the males among my followers." (Reported by Ahmad, Abu Daoud, al-Nisai, Ibn Hayyan, and lbn Majah, who reports the additional phrase, "but halal for the females.") 'Umar reported that he heard the Prophet (peace be on him) say, "Do not wear silk, for those who wear it in this life shall not wear it in the Hereafter." (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim. A Similar hadith is reported by them on the authority of Anas.) On another occasion, referring to a silken garment, he said, "This is the dress of a man who has no character.'' (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) The Prophet (peace be on him) once saw a gold ring on a man's hand. He immediately took it from him and threw it down saying, 'Does a person pick up a piece of burning coal and hold it in his hand?' After the Prophet (peace be on him) had left the place, someone asked the man, 'Why do you not pick it up and benefit from it?' He replied, 'No, by Allah! I shall not pick it up after the Messenger of Allah (peace be on him) has thrown it away.' (Reported by Muslim.) The same prohibition which applies to the gold ring likewise applies to what we observe among conspicuous spenders, i.e., the gold pen, gold watch, gold cigarette case and lighter, gold teeth, etc.

well, i think my first post was correct but only up to some extent. Read this quote regarding why women could wear gold but only up to some extent. Quote: Why Gold and Silk are Permitted to Women Woman has been exempted from this prohibition out of consideration for her feminine nature, as the love of jewelry and ornaments is quite natural and becoming for a woman. However, she is not to use her adornments to attract men and arouse their sexual desires. According to a hadith, When a woman puts on perfume and goes among people so that its scent reaches them, she is an adulteress, and any eye which is attracted to her is that of an adulterer. (Reported by al-Nisai, and also by Ibn Khazimah and Ibn Hayyan in their respective Sahih's.) And Allah Ta'ala warns women ...that they should not stamp their feet in order to make apparent what is hidden of their adornment.... (24:31)
