Asalamualaikum wa Rahmatullahe wa Barakaatuh

I would like to know if it is permissible for men to wear white gold or platinum. I know that they can wear silver rings and that gold is haram for them, but I'm not sure about white gold or platinum. In Islam, everything is halaal unless it is haram...so can someone please respond to this message with evidence from Quran and/or Hadith whether it is halal/haram/makrook, etc? Jazak Allah Khair. Please send the reply to my e-mail muslimah4582@yahoo.com.

Regards,
azizah

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

As you yourself said, The basic principle with regard to clothing is that everything is permissible except gold rings, which are haraam for men as is well known. This includes all kind of Gold be it white or Yellow.

In regards to the wearing of platinum rings, There is nothing from the Sunnah to say that Platinum or any other kind of metal other than Gold is haraam for men so threfore it is allowed on two conditions:

That it is not an extravagance on the part of one who cannot afford to wear this kind of jewellery

That it should not cause any kind of fitnah (temptation), such as the man being young and perhaps causing fitnah by wearing it.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
