Question

Why In Islam, Men are Not Allowed To Wear Gold or Silk?

Answer 1

omg i did not know that you tell me

Answer 2

gold or silk is haram in sunnism and perhaps shiaism and not In Islam,,Not Authorized in Glorious Quran that it is Haram..

they make it haram from the following verse

[9:35]  The day will come when their gold and silver will be heated in the fire of h**l, then used to burn their foreheads, their sides, and their backs: "This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you have hoarded."



but the Verse Preceeding to 9:35 says

[9:34] O you who believe, many religious leaders and preachers take the people's money illicitly, and repel from the path of GOD. Those who hoard the gold and silver, and do not spend them in the cause of GOD, promise them a painful retribution.

is there any word in Arabic Quran which says it is Haram for men  !!

the verse DOES NOT restrict it to any gender,,it EXPLICITLY

says HOARDED in 9:35..

therefore hoarding is not permissible.

wearing of gold and silver IS NOT HARAM

Answer 3

Because silk and gold are for women and in Islam, men are not to imitate women and vice versa.

Answer 7

Gold because it has something to do with changing the male's horomones..I heard it lowers them or something...I have to do more research on why that is so..but thats part of why they can't wear gold...

and as for silk they can't pray with silk but iam not sure if they can still wear it on other times not so sure..But I know that they can wear silk that is mixed it just can't be 100% silk!!

Islam has forbidden silk so that people will keep away from it for the sake of Allah, so they will be rewarded for that. Others reply that it’s basically created for women, as is the case with gold jewelry, so it’s forbidden for men lest it corrupts them by making them resemble women. Some scholars maintain that silk is forbidden because of what it may lead to in the way of pride and showing-off. Others relate the ruling (prohibition) to its having effect of femininity on men, as it goes against his masculinity and manliness. This applies to all men, even the most masculine and chivalrous of them. Whoever is too dense to understand this should just submit to the Wise Law-maker

Answer 15

it has nothing to do with imitation it has been scientifically proved that both gold and silk aren't good for men while they do no harm to women

i just read that gold particles are transferred to the body they touch causing Alzheimer to men while women because of the monthly period get rid of any harmful articles
