Fatawa
Wearing a pendant that has Allah's name inscribed on it.
Q: All praise is due to Allah alone: The following question
was addressed to the Permanent Committee for Scientific
Researches and Religious Verdicts by Muhammad
'Abdul-'Aziz:
Along with this letter, I am sending to you a piece of gold
jewelry with Allah's name inscribed on it; our Muslim
women wear it for the sole purpose of adorning and
beautifying themselves. For a time now the brothers from
the Office for Propagating Good and Forbidding evil have
warned us that wearing jewelry with Allah's name on it is
unlawful. I would like to add that only the Muslim women
wear this to adorn themselves in a way that differs from
the Christians and Jews. The Christians inscribe the cross
on their jewelry, and the Jews inscribe the Star of David.
Please look into this matter for us.
A. Because this jewelry has the name of Allah inscribed
on it for the purpose of Muslim women wearing it on their
chests like Christian women with the cross and Jewish
women with the Star of David, because they might wear it
as a charm to bring them good or ward off evil, and
because they might debase something that has Allah's
name written on it by sleeping on it or taking it to filthy
places (like the toilet), the Committee holds the view that
it is not permissible to wear such jewelry.
This is in keeping away from resembling the Christians
and Jews which the Muslims are forbidden from imitating.
This is also out of the sense of preservation for Allah's
Name and its importance as well as the generality of the
prohibition of wearing amulets.
With Allah is the facilitation to do what is right. May Allah
send peace and blessing on Muhammad, on his faimly, and
on his Companions.

The ruling on men wearing gold, and the wedding ring.
Q: What is the ruling for men wearing any type of
jewelry made of gold? Also, there is a belief that if the
gold wedding band comes off, the woman also becomes
separated from her husband.
A. It is forbidden for men to wear gold, regardless of
whether it is for a watch, a ring, or a chain. This is due to
the generality of the saying of the Prophet (may Allah's
peace and blessing be upon him):
"Gold and silk are permitted to the women of my nation,
forbidden to its men."
And he (may Allah's peace and blessing be upon him) also
said,
"Men have been forbidden from wearing gold rings."
Recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim from al-Bara' bin
'Azib, may Allah be pleased with him.
When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and
blessing be upon him) saw a man with a gold ring on his
hand, he removed it and hurled it onto the ground. He
then said,
"One of you takes to an ember from the Fire and then puts
it on this hand!"
Recorded by Muslim in his Sahih froma Hadith of Ibn
'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them.
The gold wedding band is like any other gold ring in that it
should be removed if it is made from gold. And it has no
effect when it is removed; whoever believes that it affects
the marriage is blatantly wrong. Additionally the usage of
the wedding band is an innovative practice which has no
basis, and the Muslims should leave this practice, which at
the very least is disliked.
We ask Allah to guide all of the Muslims to all that is good
and protect them fromwhatever goes against the pure
Sharia'ah.

Hadith
Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I
happened to pass by the Messenger of Allah (may the peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) with my lower garment
trailing. He said: "O Abdullah, pull up your garment." I did
so, and he said: "Pull it up more," and I did. Ever since then
I made sure that my garment is up. Some people said: "To
what extent?" Thereupon he said: "To the middle of the
shanks."

Resurrection at a person who drags his izar (lower
