Generally, according to Islamic teachings, most jewelry is considered haram (forbidden) for men, with specific emphasis on gold.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Gold: Gold jewelry is strictly prohibited for men in Islam. This includes rings, necklaces, bracelets, and any other form of adornment made of gold.
-
Silver: Opinions vary on silver. While some consider all jewelry forbidden, many scholars permit silver rings for men, provided they adhere to specific guidelines regarding size and design.
-
Other Metals & Materials: The permissibility of jewelry made from other metals like platinum, titanium, or materials like glass or beads is a matter of scholarly discussion. Some scholars allow them as long as they don't imitate women's jewelry or contain any forbidden materials like gold. However, avoiding excessive adornment is generally encouraged.
In summary, gold jewelry is definitively haram for men, while silver rings are often permitted with limitations. The use of other materials is subject to varying interpretations, with a general emphasis on avoiding extravagance and imitation of female adornment.
