I have heard from other brothers that tungsten is also allowed, but I'd like further guidance.","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"Scholars are in agreement that men are allowed to wear silver rings. Speaking for the Shāfiʿī school, men are also allowed to wear rings made from anything other than gold, even if it’s more expensive, as long as the ring is not considered feminine according to local customs, because that would fall into imitation of the opposite gender. \\n\\nAs to why gold is not allowed for men, the simplest answer is: Because the Lawgiver deemed it so. As Muslims, we believe that good and bad are defined by the Divine, and anything He commands from us is for our own benefit. So, based on that we know for sure that gold was prohibited for men because it is not good for them. The only question left is why is it not good for them, i.e. what is the Divine wisdom. Sometimes Allah reveals this to us and sometimes He does not.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff50b76658b4c232a3b","tag":"Jewelry","count":17},{"_id":"668da0220b76658b4c232f03","tag":"Men: Jewelry","count":16},{"_id":"668da0220b76658b4c232f06","tag":"Gold","count":7}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:02.667Z"}
