What is the ruling regarding the yellow threads found on men's cloaks (abaya), considering the doubt that they might be mixed with gold?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Experts have issued a fatwa stating that the embellishments and threads on the edges of abayas that resemble gold are not actual gold. Therefore, wearing these abayas is permissible. Even if a small amount of gold is found on them, it is permissible because it is incidental. However, wearing them becomes impermissible if one is certain that they contain a significant amount of gold.
