Question
Asalaam aleikum warahmaturahi wabarakatu,
Sheikh, is it permissible to wear a gold plated watch ?
I think not 100% gold
Thank you
Answer
If the top of the watch or ring or any wears is gold or if it is lightly plated with gold, it is haraam, because of the general meaning of the hadeeth concerning silk and gold, “These two are haraam for the males of my ummah and halaal for the females.” - hadeeth of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him)
