It comes down to what imitating women means. imho In women's fashion, apparel and jewellery is used as adornments. In men's fashion apparel and jewellery is used for practical purposes in masculine affairs. In general this is what has inspired the various different items in male and female attire. So the question we must ask is "What practical purpose does this ring or chain serve in masculine affairs?" A military dog tag for example is an item inspired from practical use.

Ustadh, The Hadith states that it Haram for a man to imitate a woman. But how can we say that necklaces and bracelets are unique to women? Isn't that very much dependant on the culture? As the fiqh principle says "العادة محكمة". So if in a culture, it is unique for women to wear bracelets then yes it will be Haram for men. But in our society today it is not at all unique for women to wear bracelets and necklaces, in fact men wear them just as much. In general, the bracelets and necklaces worn by men are different than the ones worn by women. As long as necklaces aren't specified in a Hadith as being for women, isn't it subject to change? JazakAllahu khairan
Exactly. IMO (with all due respect) - its an ethcentric Eastern assumption that necklaces are "for women." I can tell you where I'm from, Florida, USA. Equal amounts of men and women wear necklaces, and NO ONE mistakes them as imitating women. Same thing I've heard with braids (cornrows). I've seen some brothers take the "imitating women" hadith stretched so far that they said braids are a haraam imitation of women - their error clearly shows when - THE PROPHET (PBUH) HIMSELF HAD BRAIDS at TIMES!!!!
Brother but earlier men did not wear chains,earlier it was only meant for women.Now a days we see men and women both wear chains,its because either they lack islamic knowledge or they dont follow it or because they are not muslims.
The imitation of the opposite gender is haram but the basis of what is effeminate or masculine is based on the culture and Era. For example wristwatches used to be a women's only item. Necklaces have for most of the world become normal for men as a man's necklace is very different from a women's.
yea its our era, like back then gold was seen as haram, but in america and in our era it isnt seen as feminine so i think gold is fine now cuz this isnt 1500 years ago! yk what im tryna say?
Volume 7, Book 72, Number 772 : in Sahih Bukhari. Narrated by Abu Huraira I was with Allah's Apostle in one of the Markets of Medina. He left (the market) and so did I. Then he asked thrice, "Where is the small (child)?" Then he said, "Call Al-Hasan bin 'Ali." So Al-Hasan bin 'Ali got up and started walking with a necklace (of beads) around his neck. The Prophet stretched his hand out like this, and Al-Hasan did the same. The Prophet embraced him and said, "0 Allah! l love him, so please love him and love those who love him." Since Allah's Apostle said that. nothing has been dearer to me than Al-Hasan.
For people saying "it depends on the cultural norms" Allah Yahdeek amin. Some places in the world dress in just a loin-cloth and women aren't covered either. Suppose these people become Muslim, can we say it is allowed because of the cultural norms? can we say Tatoos are allowed because in some island cultures it represents their heritage? Now I ask you, did our beloved Muhammad Rasulullah (saw) wear necklaces? NO. And did He (saw) not say that Al-Islam "Yajubbu maa qablah" (supercedes everything before it)? So why are we talking about culture when Islam removes that bias, when Islam has freed us from its shackles and when Islam supersedes everything else. Wassalam.
I understand yes but wearing a ring or a necklace with no intention of imitating+ the society doesn't think it's for females then I think it's permissable
Well find me where in the sunns does nail goes against islam. But if let's say for ages only men put paint on their nails if religion didn't say no no one would even think it's for females
Based on the video, CLEAR evidence is still not given to the claim that men are prohibited to wear necklaces & bracelets. Where is the CRITERIA clearly stated for what each gender is permitted to wear in Islam? There are different dress cultures in this world and to say certain clothes & accessories are haram needs clear evidence that I would love to hear.
I thought for the most part what was imitating a man or woman depended on the society. For example I live in the USA it’s a common occurrence for people to wear necklaces
brother men used to wear skirts too back in the medieval period ..doesn't make it halal for men to wear it today as we have to consider the present day condition of the ummah too
Females usually wear gold necklace and pearl necklace so how is imitating when male wear silver necklace? Point of wearing silver is to avoid imitation?

Innamal a'malu binniyat, my intentions are not to imitate women. I’ve a great fondness for silver necklaces and bracelets, but unfortunately, I’m unable to wear them due to the stigma surrounding such adornments and the statements of certain Sheikhs claiming it to be haram without clear evidence. I must admit, I’m uncertain about this matter. The religion of Allah teaches naseehah (sincerity and sincere advice), yet some individuals have made it excessively strict and unnecessarily complex. I’ve also come across a statement by Dr. Zakir Naik, who asserts that silver necklaces and bracelets are permissible. Silver can take various forms, such as necklaces, rings, or bracelets, and the religion permits us to wear any silver jewelry regardless of its specific use.
Wearing silver ring is permissible but necklace and bracelet are haram because necklace and bracelets are made for women and men to imitate women and vice versa is haram as well...
ok what i think is true is the necklace needs to be silver, and it shouldn’t look like a women necklace and it should be for men only only not for women. And if its only what disbelievers do, kinda stuff like that, but i would recommend u not wearing it,
@@MoUniverse123stay away from necklaces intention doesn’t matter when you do that which is specifically haram. You can’t have a good intention and expect it’s halal.
Why is a necklace and bracelet unique for woman. A ring isn’t unique for just woman and it doesn’t say in the quraan that necklaces and bracelets are unique for women.
use this example: Give me one example of a proper muslim man, a righteous man who ever wore a necklace or bracelet or an ear ring?

If by your values necklaces are for both women and men then of course they are permissable. It's similair to how wearing trousers is permissable for women because it's normal in our modern society
It's not an assumption. It's a law set by our Creator. Also, we don't base haram or halal based on how many people practice it or not. You can find many men wearing make up and high heels, cause we have come to a time where there is a corrupt mindset of making people genderless and gender neutral. That doesn't mean it's permissible for men to do it.
You said the prophet said wearing a gold bracelet is like wearing a bracelet from the hell fire why didn't he say wearing a bracelet then? If bracelets are harmful. Why did he add the gold part ?
Would necklaces be based on the culture of that society though? In the west, men wear male necklaces, and it's distinguished from women jewellery. Any thoughts on that?
I agree. For example there isn't any clear text (from my knowledge) that says explicitly necklaces are for women only. In the west wearing long clothing is seen as feminine clothing...does that mean thobes are feminine? Whats the difference between a thobe and a dress? Of course thobes aren't for women as determined by Middle Eastern culture. Things like make up are universally understood to be for women. But necklaces in the west dont have a gender.

Correct me if im wrong. Isn't one of the companions (i can't recall what his name is) of Rasulullah ﷺ was given the bracelet of Kisra to wear? And the hadith the ustaz is talking about is addressing golden ring, golden necklace and golden bracelet am i right? We know that rings is permissible for men if its not made out of gold. But why doesn't the hadith says that golden ring, all necklace and all bracelet is impermeable for men? Why does it states that golden necklace and golden bracelet is the same as necklace and bracelet of the hell fire? Please someone clarify. I don't know if i can say or advice to my male family and friends that its haram for them to wear necklace or bracelet. Should i just let them wear it and not speak about it and just remind them that just make sure its made of gold?
@@humza9460 does it really though? As far as I know, there is no Hadith that says that bracelets and necklaces are for women only. And we know in the culture today, bracelets and necklaces are not for women only at all. Men wear them just as much. So how are necklaces and bracelets unique to women?
@@humza9460 but the hadith says golden necklaces and golden bracelets right? If all necklace and all bracelet is haram for male then why in the hadith that the ustadz referring to says golden? Although this doesn't do anything to me because i don't really wear any except ring but i don't think i can tell to my sons that its haram to wear necklace or bracelet. For example, i thought braiding is only for women (based upon my culture and where i live) so its not permissible for male. But actually it is not only for women. The male companions of Rasulullah ﷺ used to do it also.
He didn't seem to say necklaces are haraam based on the gold hadith. Rather, he, seemed to say that based off the "imitating women" hadith. This ban is contrary to opinion of some other scholars (who I agree with on this matter) - this is not some unanimous holding. See my prior post: Exactly. IMO (with all due respect) - its an ethcentric Eastern assumption that necklaces are "for women." I can tell you where I'm from, Florida, USA. Equal amounts of men and women wear necklaces, and NO ONE mistakes them as imitating women. Same thing I've heard with braids (cornrows).

Ustadh try and be more accurate when translating in the future inshallah, for example the Hadith about the ring/neckless from the hellfire طوق من النار and also the one about the bracelet you swapped the wording a little and allah knows best. Please correct me if I’m mistaken here
The question regarding the imitation of women needs to be understood in the context of the culture of the people... In Scotland men wear kilts and in Yemen the men wear their Izaar... In the Americas wearing a short 'skirt' exposing your calfs is considered wearing women's attire... Are you saying then that the millions of Scottish and Yemeni people are wearing women's attire? Of course not... Likewise the wearing of bracelets and necklaces... In the Indian Subcontinent and in Indonesia as well as my people who are native to the Caribbean and The Americas the wearing of necklaces and bracelets are culturally worn by men as well as women and are not gender specific... At the end of the day the answer to the question of whether or not it is permissible will depend on the context in which a thing is worn... If the person would be confused with being a woman then they should be encouraged to avoid that... and where no confusion exists then they should refrain from things which will lesson their imaan and have Taqwa... but there is no harm in the case of one who is exercising his right to adornment in accordance with his culture so long as the material is not in of itself haram... I have said what I have said and I ask forgiveness for myself and for you...
The problem is accordance to culture. I would advice anybody to stop doing anything that is unsure of. Not wearing a necklace won't change your life so it's best to follow the lifestyle of the prophet which he himself never wore a necklace. To be honest all these jewelry comes from hip hop culture that's trending now any young man raised on the waste wearing a necklace 90 percent is influenced by the rappers and musicians.
@@hassanosman3510 My brother and fellow student of knowledge... As-salaamu 'alaykum... I absolutely agree that the best dress and adornment would be to emulate that of our beloved Prophet (saaw)... However the question is posed as a matter of Fiqh... The Ustadth (for whom I have the absolute respect) made a statement that I understood and support in it's basic form... Understood because I am also a student of knowledge... however there are many who are not aware of the importance of understanding rulings that have alternative conclusions based on urf... In this case whilst the general permissibility of wearing silver by men is accepted, and that the argument against wearing silver in the form of a necklace and bracelet is specific we need to examine the argument based on its acceptability... since no direct prohibition is implicit in the Shari'ah we are left to the legal opinons of the scholars... I simply make the case that the argument used regarding the opinion that wearing a bracelet and chain may be prohibited as it contravenes a general impermissibility to emulate the dress of the opposite gender then the question arises as whether or not in fact the wearing a chain or bracelet is specific to women... No doubt in many cultures the use of bracelets and chains are a recent phenomenon and that there is strong influence from 'pop culture'... However my argument comes from the reality that in many long established cultures that predate the coming of our beloved Prophet (saaw) the use of chains and bracelets by men is well established... peoples who have these adornments as part of their culture should not have to conform to the dress code of another culture simply because that culture happens to be that of the Arabs... In the end Allah and his Messenger (saaw) know best...
@@hassanosman3510 Partially true akhi. Not all of what you stated "came from hip hop culture." Additionally, if you think there is something inherently wrong with anything associated with hip hop culture, I suggest you look deeper into its roots. Namely, the mainstream, what you see/hear from the celebrities is not representative of the grass roots etc
@@hassanosman3510 Furthermore there is dalil relating to cultural dress not only being okay, but encouraged in instances. Islam is not opposed to cultures. We are opposed to putting out culture above our deen. Also, maybe in places such as Saudi or even Britain, there is uncertainty or "unsure" as you stated regarding chains imitating women. Let me tell, you, as someone who has lived my whole life in various parts of America - no one will confuse a grown man wearing a male chain of trying to imitate a woman. 😉 Peace my brother
Brother, white gold is indeed haram, as it is gold, just a different variation of it. Feel free to search it up the answer will be the same on the web.
Years ago they was saying to platinum white gold . But now they can make white gold from yellow gold . So you now it's haram but if it's platinum it's okay , silver okay too gold haram

Correct me if im wrong. Isn't one of the companions (i can't recall what his name is) of Rasulullah ﷺ was given the bracelet of Kisra to wear? And the hadith the ustaz is talking about is addressing golden ring, golden necklace and golden bracelet am i right? We know that rings is permissible for men if its not made out of gold. But why doesn't the hadith says that golden ring, all necklace and all bracelet is impermeable for men? Why does it states that golden necklace and golden bracelet is the same as necklace and bracelet of the hell fire? Please someone clarify. I don't know if i can say or advice to my male family and friends that its haram for them to wear necklace or bracelet. Should i just let them wear it and not speak about it and just remind them that just make sure its made of gold?
men wearing necklaces and bracelets comes under imitating women which is why it's not allowed
@@humza9460 does it really though? As far as I know, there is no Hadith that says that bracelets and necklaces are for women only. And we know in the culture today, bracelets and necklaces are not for women only at all. Men wear them just as much. So how are necklaces and bracelets unique to women?
@@humza9460 but the hadith says golden necklaces and golden bracelets right? If all necklace and all bracelet is haram for male then why in the hadith that the ustadz referring to says golden? Although this doesn't do anything to me because i don't really wear any except ring but i don't think i can tell to my sons that its haram to wear necklace or bracelet. For example, i thought braiding is only for women (based upon my culture and where i live) so its not permissible for male. But actually it is not only for women. The male companions of Rasulullah ﷺ used to do it also.
He didn't seem to say necklaces are haraam based on the gold hadith. Rather, he, seemed to say that based off the "imitating women" hadith. This ban is contrary to opinion of some other scholars (who I agree with on this matter) - this is not some unanimous holding.
See my prior post:
Exactly. IMO (with all due respect) - its an ethcentric Eastern assumption that necklaces are "for women." I can tell you where I'm from, Florida, USA. Equal amounts of men and women wear necklaces, and NO ONE mistakes them as imitating women.
Same thing I've heard with braids (cornrows). I've seen some brothers take the "imitating women" hadith stretched so far that they said braids are a haraam imitation of women - their error clearly shows when - THE PROPHET (PBUH) HIMSELF HAD BRAIDS at TIMES!!!!
@@humza9460 that depends on culture
Ustadh try and be more accurate when translating in the future inshallah, for example the Hadith about the ring/neckless from the hellfire طوق من النار and also the one about the bracelet you swapped the wording a little and allah knows best. Please correct me if I’m mistaken here
The question regarding the imitation of women needs to be understood in the context of the culture of the people... In Scotland men wear kilts and in Yemen the men wear their Izaar... In the Americas wearing a short 'skirt' exposing your calfs is considered wearing women's attire... Are you saying then that the millions of Scottish and Yemeni people are wearing women's attire? Of course not...
Likewise the wearing of bracelets and necklaces... In the Indian Subcontinent and in Indonesia as well as my people who are native to the Caribbean and The Americas the wearing of necklaces and bracelets are culturally worn by men as well as women and are not gender specific...
At the end of the day the answer to the question of whether or not it is permissible will depend on the context in which a thing is worn... If the person would be confused with being a woman then they should be encouraged to avoid that... and where no confusion exists then they should refrain from things which will lesson their imaan and have Taqwa... but there is no harm in the case of one who is exercising his right to adornment in accordance with his culture so long as the material is not in of itself haram...
I have said what I have said and I ask forgiveness for myself and for you...
The problem is accordance to culture. I would advice anybody to stop doing anything that is unsure of. Not wearing a necklace won't change your life so it's best to follow the lifestyle of the prophet which he himself never wore a necklace. To be honest all these jewelry comes from hip hop culture that's trending now any young man raised on the waste wearing a necklace 90 percent is influenced by the rappers and musicians.
@@hassanosman3510 My brother and fellow student of knowledge... As-salaamu 'alaykum...
I absolutely agree that the best dress and adornment would be to emulate that of our beloved Prophet (saaw)... However the question is posed as a matter of Fiqh... The Ustadth (for whom I have the absolute respect) made a statement that I understood and support in it's basic form... Understood because I am also a student of knowledge... however there are many who are not aware of the importance of understanding rulings that have alternative conclusions based on urf...
In this case whilst the general permissibility of wearing silver by men is accepted, and that the argument against wearing silver in the form of a necklace and bracelet is specific we need to examine the argument based on its acceptability... since no direct prohibition is implicit in the Shari'ah we are left to the legal opinons of the scholars...
I simply make the case that the argument used regarding the opinion that wearing a bracelet and chain may be prohibited as it contravenes a general impermissibility to emulate the dress of the opposite gender then the question arises as whether or not in fact the wearing a chain or bracelet is specific to women... No doubt in many cultures the use of bracelets and chains are a recent phenomenon and that there is strong influence from 'pop culture'... However my argument comes from the reality that in many long established cultures that predate the coming of our beloved Prophet (saaw) the use of chains and bracelets by men is well established... peoples who have these adornments as part of their culture should not have to conform to the dress code of another culture simply because that culture happens to be that of the Arabs...
In the end Allah and his Messenger (saaw) know best...

Partially true akhi. Not all of what you stated "came from hip hop culture." Additionally, if you think there is something inherently wrong with anything associated with hip hop culture, I suggest you look deeper into its roots. Namely, the mainstream, what you see/hear from the celebrities is not representative of the grass roots etc
@@hassanosman3510
Furthermore there is dalil relating to cultural dress not only being okay, but encouraged in instances. Islam is not opposed to cultures. We are opposed to putting out culture above our deen.
Also, maybe in places such as Saudi or even Britain, there is uncertainty or "unsure" as you stated regarding chains imitating women. Let me tell, you, as someone who has lived my whole life in various parts of America - no one will confuse a grown man wearing a male chain of trying to imitate a woman. 😉
Peace my brother

EXACTLY. 💯
What about white gold? Legitimate question.
Brother, white gold is indeed haram, as it is gold, just a different variation of it. Feel free to search it up the answer will be the same on the web.
@@ibrahim_-_-_ Jazak Allah bro
Years ago they was saying to platinum white gold . But now they can make white gold from yellow gold . So you now it's haram but if it's platinum it's okay , silver okay too gold haram
Just wear a metal that’s painted gold and it won’t be harram 😂
@@kalibvo2598 i think I’ll pass on that lol
اللهم بارك، بارك الله فيكم يا جماعة
So we are allowed to wear a silver necklace?
No
Can i wear silver chain?
Zero dislikes mashallah
Lets not forget Many young Arabs boys wore Earrings . Even Imaam Malik
either we folow Prophet MUHAMMAD sww or imaam malik choose your side wisely i have my both ears pierced and i stop wearing earrings so we gonna follow sunnah 👍🏻
It was before he became imam malik
I wear a silver pendant with the crescent 🌙 and star to remind me of the 5 pillars of Islam and Ramadan
I don't think that's a good idea brother, pendants are commonly associated with magic
@@wearyhead7972 never heard of that being a case for pendants being haram
Pendant is allowed or not?
Crescent moon has nothing to do with Islam, this was the sign of Roman Byzantines which the Ottomans adopted as their own for their flag. Islam has no symbols.
Damn your iman is that low you need to commit sin and imitate a female or a kafir In order to pray 5 times a day? May Allah guide you
