Is it permissible for men to wear something more expensive than gold, such as platinum, knowing that gold is forbidden for them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
True platinum is permissible because it is not gold, and nothing other than gold is forbidden, even if it is more expensive. As for gold dyed with white pigment, its use is permissible if its plating can yield something when exposed to fire, or if the gold's color has changed due to rust.
