What is the evidence from the Book and the Sunnah that it is not permissible for a man to wear a chain, and what is the position of the Sharia on that?
It is forbidden for a man to wear a necklace around his neck because it is considered women's adornment. "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed men who imitate women." The prohibition becomes stronger if the necklace is made of gold, due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Indeed, these two [gold and silk] are forbidden for the males of my Ummah and permissible for their females." It is also forbidden to wear it in imitation of disbelievers or believing that it wards off the evil eye, as this is polytheism, due to his, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Whoever wears an amulet has committed ."
