What is the ruling on a man or young man wearing a necklace or pendant made of leather, not silver or gold, and not for the purpose of imitating women?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A necklace is a piece of adornment specific to women, and it is forbidden for a man to wear it, as it constitutes imitation of women. The intention is not a condition for imitation to occur. The matter becomes even more serious if the necklace is worn with the intention of seeking blessings, warding off the evil eye, or bringing good luck.
