What is the ruling on men wearing silver chains, knowing that there are types specifically for men that women do not wear, according to the four madhhabs?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden for men to wear silver chains according to the four schools of thought. The basic principle is that silver is akin to gold, and what is permissible for a man is only a silver ring. Anything else made of silver jewelry, such as a bracelet or necklace, is forbidden because it involves imitating women. The fact that some chains are specifically for men does not change this ruling.
