What is the ruling on wearing watches that contain gold parts in their movement, whether unseen or visible, given that the watch itself is made of iron?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is forbidden for men to wear gold, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of it, except for a small amount that is secondary to something else, such as a gold bezel in a ring, or a small amount of gold in a wristwatch, especially if it is hidden like the internal mechanisms of the watch. This is a point of contention among jurists.
