Does the legal ruling differ if the image on the coin is of a bird or of Louis, King of France?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden for a man to wear gold coins, whether they bear images or not. As for a woman, it is forbidden for her to wear anything that has an image of a living being, even if it is made of gold; because the reason for the prohibition is the presence of the image, not the wearing of gold itself.
